Sambhar

 Who is not aware of this world famous South-Indian delicacy “Sambhar” ,a quintessential accompaniment to Idlis ,Dosas and many more..

Over the years, sambhar has seen numerous variations from place to place..Karnataka version has little sweetness while a typical Andhra  has more chilis in it. I always love the Tamil version which is little thick & perfectly balanced with spices.

It has essentially been a favorite among those living in the southern part of the nation.

The history says some different story leading the origin to the royal kitchen of Thanjavur Marathas .The dish was named as “Sambhar” on the honor of the second Maratha king Chhatrapati Sambhaji .

Whatever the past may be, the love for this dish is irrefutable beyond region.
