Combination of Rice, Sambar & Vegetables cooked together.

Sambhar Rice is one of those satisfying and soothing foods. For the days when you want food that is hot, spicy, and soothing without sacrificing on nutrition, Sambar Rice is the best option.

 The traditional manner of making Sambhar Rice can be a bit of a long process. First, you have to make the Sambhar and rice separately, then mix the two together and cook for a few minutes, finally adding the tempering.

I learned a simple Sambhar Rice recipe in Hyderabad from one of my neighbors – a Tamilian aunt. I had attended a family celebration and there they had served about 8-9 varieties of rice dishes. Later, when talking to her about the rice dishes, she taught me her secret recipe.

Sambar Rice is a delicious, flavorful, and protein-packed dish that is also healthy and nutrient-dense.
