Things to know about Sambar Recipe

The Indian Traditional Lentil Curry or Sambar is a spicy stew cooked with pigeon pea lentils and tamarind. The dish is quite popular in South India as well as Sri Lanka. The dish is so classic that the earliest mention of the stew has been made in a 17^th-century text.

The spicy curry originated under the Maratha ruler Shahuji. The name of the dish is after the guest of the King’s court, Serfoji, who was the King’s younger brother and also the subsequent ruler. The chefs were trying to make a dish called Amti, but instead of using green gram, pigeon pea was used. The dish is a Southern Indian staple and is served with steamed rice. It is also served at festivals and occasions as well.
