Sambar

Sambar is a classic South Indian lentil-based stew known for its rich, comforting flavors and perfect balance of tangy and spicy notes. A staple in South Indian cuisine, it is enjoyed daily across households and restaurants.

Prepared using toor dal (split pigeon peas), Sambar is slow-cooked with a variety of fresh vegetables such as drumstick, carrot, pumpkin, brinjal, and onions. The dish is enhanced with tamarind extract, which gives it a signature tangy taste, and a special blend of sambar powder made from roasted spices.

A fragrant tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves, dried red chilies, and asafoetida in oil or ghee is added at the end, elevating the aroma and depth of flavor.
