An ideal south Indian meal does not miss out on Sambar. That little bowl generously filled over with the mighty sambar, the aroma blending over on any food it is accompanied with, is sure to die for most us. In its proportion of its own, it gets in place in every and most of the south Indian preparations, may it be breakfast, lunch or dinner. Our food is complete with a sambar. The generous quantity spread over hot steaming rice, the blended vegetables the distinct flavor of the sambhar by itself, looks like a calling for a happy meal, a perfect satiety.

So, what is it about this mighty Sambar? Sambar is a lentil-based vegetable stew, cooked with red gram (pigeon pea) and tamarind juices. A whole of variety of veggies that go in it and blended with Sambar powder, the tempering added giving its final touch, the taste that manifolds into something overwhelming, like a perfect come together of a hint of sweet, a little sour, spicy on the edge, all mild and a soothing blending over the veggies.  

The Sambar powder has all its taste in the ingredients that gets into a powder texture. It’s the coming together of dry roasted chilies, cumin seeds, peppercorn, fenugreek, Channa dal (Chickpeas), tempering with asafetida, Curry leaves and then into a powder.
