Sambar is a hearty and tangy lentil-based stew made from toor dal (pigeon peas) and simmered with vegetables such as drumsticks (moringa), carrots, okra, and brinjal (eggplant). Flavored with a blend of mustard seeds, curry leaves, dried red chilies, and tamarind pulp, Sambar is a cornerstone of South Indian cuisine, especially in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. It’s traditionally served with idli, dosa, vada, or steamed rice, making it both a meal and an accompaniment depending on the occasion.
