If you’re craving delicious and traditional South Indian cuisine, make sure to visit Tandoori Biss in Adelaide, Australia, for an amazing Authentic Sambar experience along with a variety of other South Indian dishes.

Sambar, a well-loved vegetable stew with lentils, pigeon pea, and tamarind broth, originally hails from South Indian cuisine but has gained popularity throughout India and beyond. It is commonly paired with Burmese curries and has become a part of Sri Lankan culinary practices since the 20th century, alongside other South Indian delicacies.

Legend has it that the sambar recipe traces back to Sambhaji Bhosale, the son of Maratha ruler Shivaji. When Sambhaji’s head chef was unavailable, he took matters into his own hands and prepared a watery and tangy dal known as ‘Amti’. By opting for Toor Dal over Moong Dal and tamarind over ‘Kokum,’ he elevated the dish’s taste, earning praise from the royal court members, who dubbed it ‘Sambar’ in Sambhaji’s honor.

Today, India boasts over 20 variations of sambar. While the Maharashtrian rendition tends to be more straightforward, southern adaptations often incorporate coconut and an array of vegetables such as potatoes, eggplants, and drumsticks.

The popularity of sambar has also spread to other parts of the world, with Indian restaurants in countries like the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia featuring it on their menus. Its rich and comforting flavors have made it a favorite among vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
