                       SAMBHAR RECIPE

I share our favorite South Indian Sambar Recipe Sambar is a dal-based vegetable stew, cooked with vegetables ,dal and tamarind broth. It is famous in Southern Indian, Sri Lankan and Maldivian cuisines. Make this recipe flavorsome, hearty and healthy South Indian vegetable-lentil stew with this method.  sambar with like Idli, Dosa,  Vada, uttapam or simply together it with lemon rice or tamarind rice for a comforting, nutritious and filling meal.

A good sambar masala always make a good and tasty sambar. so when you try to make it,  have a good flavour sambar powder.

A normal sambar method will have a mix or two or more types of vegetables along with lentils, tamarind, sambar powder and a few other masala.it is a common dish in South Indian homes and is also equally popular and loved by everyone.

The South Indian food Fans are aware that dinner would be lacking without sambar. This South Indian tasty gravy dish has a lot of vegetables and is mostly made of toor dal. Sambar is typically thought to be difficult to prepare because of its large number of components, but it is very easy dish to prepare. The dal , oil, spices, sambar masala, tamarind, and mixed vegetables make up the majority of the sambar ingredients. Sambar is a vegetable stew made with dal, pigeon peas, and tamarind broth. Southern Indian, Sri Lankan, and Maldives cuisines all use it frequently.  According to the legend surrounding the creation of sambar, Sambhaji, son of Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Shivaji, is the genuine source of the dish's original recipe. According to legend, when his chief chef was gone, Shivaji's son Chhatrapati Sambhaji Raje Bhonsale, one of the Maratha kings, attempted to cook dal for himself. He cherished his own creation, known as "Sambar," and he loved it. Sambar is incomplete without sambar masala. Although there are different brands of sambar masalas available in the market, nothing beats a homemade authentic sambar masala. It is full of spices and free of adulteration.I prepare Sambar masala at home and I feel homemade sambar masala powder gives the best and perfect taste and results in sambar.You can also use your favorite brand of sambar masala powder of any other company.
