This lentil-based stew showcases a variety of vegetables and is flavored with tamarind and a unique spice blend. Traditionally, it is a communal dish enjoyed during festivals and family gatherings. Today, sambar has transcended regional boundaries, becoming a beloved dish throughout India and even in Indian restaurants worldwide.
