Sambhar Rice

Description

Sambhar Rice is a flavorful and hearty South Indian dish made by mixing rice with sambhar, a spiced lentil-based vegetable stew. The rice absorbs the tangy, spicy flavors of the sambhar, which is typically made with toor dal (yellow pigeon peas), vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and drumsticks, and a blend of spices such as mustard seeds, cumin, curry leaves, and tamarind. It’s often served with a side of yogurt or pickle for added flavor. Sambhar rice is a wholesome, comforting meal, popular in many South Indian households.
