About Sambaar
Sambaar is a flavorful South Indian stew made with lentils, vegetables, tamarind, and a blend of aromatic spices like mustard seeds, curry leaves, cumin, and dried chilies. Typically served with rice or traditional breads like dosa and idli, it is a staple in South Indian cuisine. The lentils, often toor dal, are rich in protein and dietary fiber, supporting digestive health and muscle growth. Vegetables such as drumsticks, carrots, and beans add vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making Sambaar a nutrient-dense dish. The spices in Sambaar have anti-inflammatory and digestive properties, while tamarind contributes a tangy flavor and is a source of antioxidants. Sambaar is naturally low in fat, though excessive oil use during preparation can add calories. Overall, it is a versatile and healthy dish suited for vegetarians and vegans, and can be included in balanced diets.
