About Veg sambar
Veg Sambar is a flavorful South Indian dish made from lentils, assorted vegetables, tamarind, and a blend of aromatic spices. Originating from Tamil Nadu, it is a staple in South Indian cuisine, often paired with rice or served as a side with dosa or idli. The dish is rich in plant-based protein from toor dal (split pigeon peas) and packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals from vegetables like carrots, beans, pumpkin, and drumsticks. Tamarind adds a tangy note while providing antioxidants. The spices, including turmeric, mustard seeds, and curry leaves, contribute anti-inflammatory properties. Sambar is naturally low in fat but high in nutrients, making it a balanced and wholesome food choice. However, sodium levels may vary depending on preparation, especially if pre-packaged sambar masala is used. Overall, Veg Sambar is a nutritious dish suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets.
