Covering the ready broth, lentils, and onions, she would then allow the luscious soup to simmer for half an hour or so, as the spices embedded themselves into the compliant onion skins. – Marsha Mehran
Sambar, a delicious lentil and vegetable stew, flavored with Indian spices, this recipe takes just 15 minutes!
In a vegan/ vegetarian diet lentils (dal)are one of the main sources of protein and this dish is packed with it! I generally double the quantity of dal in any South Indian recipe as I do the turmeric.
Delicious as is, smabar can be served as a soup, eaten with rice or with idli, dosai vadai and other tiffin items. Each region in the south has its own melange of spices and ingredients to give Sambar their own distinctive flavor.
With his unique recipe for this Hotel style sambar, Chef Venkatesh Bhat hits another one out of the ball park!
Thanks Chef @chefvenkateshbhat
