Sambhar or Sambar or Kuzhambu is the dish that is common in South India and Sri Lanka. One of the popular signature dishes in the Tamilian cuisine. This dish is usually made every day in most of the Tamilian household. It is also prepared in Karnataka and Kerala. Sambar is reflective of a broad and ancient tradition of dal-based vegetable stews in southern India. Many regions and families of the Indian subcontinent have developed and maintained their own adaptations of a dal and vegetable stew, and similar preparations are evident in such dishes known in local languages as rasamcharusaaru, and pappuchaaru. Every state in the South makes it using a standard variant, adjusted to the flavor and environment.

Sambhar is a healthy, flavorful vegetarian dish, very tempting and nourishing, made of Arhar Dal/ Tur Dal and Vegetables. Tamarind soaked in water to extract the juice combined with mixed vegetables (including lady's finger, drumstick, carrot, radish, pumpkin, potatoes, tomatoes, brinjal and whole or halved onions and also other vegetables), spices (turmeric and chilli powder) and freshly ground sambhar powder cooked together adding the dal and boiling the sambar well till it gives a thumping aroma all over the house.
