[ID: A bowl of a bright yellow stew topped with cilantro, mustard seed, chili, and curry leaf. End ID]
ಉಡುಪಿ ಸಾಂಬಾರ್ / Udupi sambar
A sambar is a lentil-and-vegetable stew distinguished by the use of a particular spice blend (Hindi: सांबर मसाला "sāmbār masālā," "sambar spice"; Kannada: ಸಾಂಬಾರ್ ಪುಡಿ "sāmbār puḍi," "sambar powder"). Sambars are a staple of South Indian and Sri Lankan cooking, sometimes made in households for multiple meals a week. The word "sambar" can be traced back to the Sanskrit सम्भार "sambhārá," "collection of things required for a particular purpose”; “spices."
The lentil used in sambar dishes is usually tur dal (split pigeon peas), though arhar dal, tuvur dal, or even blends containing masur or mung dal may be used, depending on the cook or the region. Vegetables also vary between combinations of okra, potato, ash gourd (petha), bottle gourd (doodhi / lauki), drumstick (saijan ki phalli), beetroot, tomato, carrot, pumpkin, brinjal, and pearl onions, among others. The sambar masala fries chilis, curry leaves, dal, and various spices including cumin, coriander, and fenugreek, then grinds them into a spicy, earthy, fragrant blend.
This recipe makes a sambar in the style of ಉಡುಪಿ (Udupi) cuisine—a subdivision of the cuisine of the ತುಳುವ (Tuluva) people localised in the Udupi District of Karnataka, a southeastern coastal state of India. (Tuluva cuisine is also commonly found in Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka, and Kasaragod, Kerala). In the Udupi region, sambar may be known as "ಕೊಡೆಲ್" "kodhel"; perhaps related to "ಕಡಲೆ" "kadhale" "Bengal gram"; or "ಹುಲಿ" "huḷi"; "tartness." Udupi huli has coconut oil and jaggery as its primary distinguishing features: the jaggery's deep sweetness and the earthy pungency of unrefined coconut oil combine with the spice of the chilis and the sour fruitiness of the tamarind to create a complex, flavorful, well-balanced dish.
Udupi huli may be further divided into a few major types. ಮಸಾಲೆ ಹುಳಿ ("masāla huḷi") contains shredded coconut and vegetables; ಬೋಳು ಹುಳಿ ("bolu huḷi") contains vegetables, but omits the coconut.
Hotel-style masala huli recipes typically add a lot of jaggery to produce a distinct sweetness; cut back on the amount of coconut included; and contain onion and garlic. The other main type of masala huli—“temple style”—is sattvic (from Sanskrit "सत्त्व" "sattva": "goodness," "essence," "existence"), which in this context means that onions and garlic are excluded.
A sattvic diet in Hinduism centres around the concept of maintaining sattva by eating only pure and mild (sattvic) foods, and omitting tamasic (“dark,” "inert," "destructive"; from Sanskrit तमस् "tamas") and rajasic ("exciting," "passionate," from Sanskrit रजस् "rajas") ones. The concepts of sattva, tamas, and rajas (the गुण "guṇa" system) are central to the construction of caste: the degree to which each person innately inherits each quality supposedly determines their possession of characteristics including honesty, intelligence, and goodness (sattva), stupidity and lack of creativity (tamas), and passion and pridefulness (rajas); the possession of these characteristics in turn determines their rightful place in a professional and social hierarchy. The association of certain foods with certain qualities thus links diet to caste: a distinction in diet is one of the methods by which those belonging to upper castes maintain and police caste boundaries.
This recipe makes enough pudi for one pot of sambar. Traditionally, sambar pudi is created fresh each time the dish is made, but many households make large batches and store them. In this case, omit the coconut; or, use dried coconut and store the masala in the refrigerator.

Ingredients:
Serves 4-6.
For the sambar:
2 cups chopped vegetables
1 red onion, sliced*
1 cup (200g) yellow split pigeon peas / tur dal / ತೂರ್ ದಾಲ್ (ಹಳದಿ ಸ್ಪ್ಲಿಟ್ ಪಾರಿವಾಳದ ಬಟಾಣಿ)
4 cups (1 litre) water, or as needed
1/4 tsp ground turmeric / haldi / ಅರಿಶಿನ
2 tsp table salt
2 tsp jaggery / gur / ಬೆಲ್ಲ*
1/4 cup (60mL) tamarind pulp (from 1 Tbsp dried tamarind / imlie / ಹುಣಸೆಹಣ್ಣು)
2 tsp unrefined coconut oil / nariyal ka tel / ತೆಂಗಿನ ಎಣ್ಣೆ
Ingredient list format is English / Hindi (Latin transcription) / Kannada. The Hindi is provided for convenience while shopping.
Udupi sambar usually uses any of: gourd, brinjal (Indian eggplant), pumpkin, dumstick (saijan ki phalli), and okra. Pearl onion is not usually used in this region, but you can add whatever you want, according to taste.
*For a hotel-style sambar, include the onion; increase the jaggery to 2 Tbsp.
For the spice paste / sambar masala / ಸಾಂಬಾರ್ ಪುಡಿ ("sambar pudi"):
1/2 Tbsp split Bengal gram / chana dal / ಹಳದಿ ಸ್ಪ್ಲಿಟ್ ಗ್ರಾಂ
2 tsp split black gram / urad dal chilka / ಸ್ಪ್ಲಿಟ್ ಬ್ಲ್ಯಾಕ್ ಗ್ರಾಂ
2 tsp coriander seeds / dhaniya / ಕೊತ್ತಂಬರಿ ಬೀಜದ
1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds / methi / ಮೆಂತ್ಯ
1 tsp cumin seeds / jeera / ಜೀರಿಗೆ
1 tsp ground turmeric
5-6 curry leaves / kari pati / ಕರಿಬೇವು
3-4 Byadagi or other dried red chilis / byadagi mirch / ಬ್ಯಾಡಗಿ ಮೆಣಸಿನಕಾಯಿ
4 cloves garlic, skins on*
Large pinch asafoetida / hing / ಇಂಗು
1 cup (100g) fresh coconut (about one coconut)*
1/2 cup (120mL) water
While the ratio of ingredients in Udupi sambar pudi vary slightly, the ingredients themselves are almost always consistent.
*For a hotel-style sambar, include the garlic, and decrease the coconut in the sambar masala to 1/4 or 1/2 cup (25-50g).
The grams and pulses in this pudi have many different names. You can find them in a halal or South Asian grocery store; look on the bag for the Hindi names (since they have been transcribed into Latin, the spelling may vary from what you see here).
The urad dal you find may be husked, and thus yellow instead of black; these will work just as well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
For the tempering / tadka / ಹದಗೊಳಿಸುವ:
2 Tbsp unrefined coconut oil
2 red chilis
8 curry leaves
1 tsp brown mustard seeds / rai / ಸಾಸಿವೆ ಬೀಜಗಳು
Recipes from north Karnataka may add cumin and whole, unpeeled garlic cloves to the tempering.
Instructions:
For the sambar pudi:
1. Break open the coconut and remove and shread its flesh.
If using a whole dried coconut, break into the shell with the wrong side of a hammer and pry open. Break into a few smaller pieces and peel with a vegetable peeler until the skin is removed from the white flesh, wearing something to protect your hand. Soak in warm water for several minutes to soften, and then grate or food process.
Tumblr media
2. Heat 2 Tbsp of coconut oil in a skillet on medium-low. Add asafoetida and fry for 30 seconds, until no longer raw-smelling. Add dal and fry, stirring often, for 30 seconds until golden brown; add coriander, mustard, fenugreek, and cumin seeds and fry until fragrant.
3. Add curry leaves and fry until wilted, then add garlic and dried chilis and fry another 30 seconds to a minute, until fragrant.
4. Add coconut and fry, stirring often, for another few minutes until a shade darker. Add turmeric and stir.
5. Grind all ingredients into a paste in a mortar and pestle, then mix in about 1/2 cup water to loosen (if using dried coconut, you may need more water).
Or, put all ingredients along with 1/2 cup water into a blender or food processor and process until a relatively smooth paste forms.
Tumblr media
For the sambar:
1. Wash tur dal to remove excess starch. Simmer dal with 2 cups water, 1/4 tsp ground turmeric, and 1 tsp coconut oil for about 30 minutes until very tender. Mash until relatively smooth with a wooden spoon or bean masher, or process briefly with an immersion blender.
You may soak the dal in water after rinsing them to reduce the cooking time, but it is not necessary.
2. Meanwhile, make the tamarind paste. Soak 1 Tbsp tamarind dried pulp in 1/4 cup hot water for 20-30 minutes. Squeeze the tamarind into the water to extract the pulp. Discard the tamarind seeds and husk. Optionally, depending on your preferred texture, push the mixture through a metal sieve.
3. Prepare vegetables. Slice the onion; remove ends of okra and drumsticks and cut into 2-inch pieces; quarter tomatoes; quarter brinjal; peel pumpkin and cut into cubes; peel and cube potatoes.
4. If using onion, add a teaspoon of coconut oil to a large pot and fry until translucent.
5. In the same pot, boil vegetables in just enough water to cover, along with a pinch of salt, until they are beginning to soften.
Tumblr media
Some recipes call for the vegetables to be boiled, and others call for them to be steamed. I prefer boiling, since it produces a nice savory broth.
6. Mix vegetables, dal, tamarind, jaggery, sambar pudi, and salt to taste and simmer 5-10 minutes to allow flavors to combine and vegetables to cook under tender. Add water as needed. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro. Taste and adjust salt.
The final sambar should be pourable, like a thick soup—Karnataka sambar is typically thinner in consistency than Tamil Nadu versions.
For the tadka:
1. Heat coconut oil in a small skillet on medium heat. Add tempering ingredients and fry, stirring often, until chilis and curry leaves are a couple shades darker and the mixture is fragrant.
2. Pour the oil and tempering ingredients into the sambar and stir in. If you like, retain some of the tadka as a garnish to serve.
3. Serve warm, in individual bowls, alongside long-grain white rice. To eat drumsticks, scoop the center out and eat it; the tough outer rind is left.
If you intend to save some sambar, it's a good idea to make just enough tadka for what you plan to eat that day, and then make fresh tadka to pour over the reheated leftovers.

Offering a symphony of flavors, textures, and aromas, Indian cuisine is crowned as one of the most diverse cuisines in the world. Thanks to the geographical expanse, Indian cuisine is also blessed with innumerable unique cooking techniques which makes it even more special. From the bustling streets of Delhi serving scrumptious Chaat to the backwaters of Kerala offering mouthwatering seafood, the Indian food palate has something for everyone.
Tumblr media
The richness of Indian food has now carved a popular name for itself internationally too! This fondness for Indian delicacies has led to the growth of Indian restaurants all over the world, especially in Australia. Dosa Hut is one of the best Indian food restaurants in Melton, Australia. This food hub is known for serving authentic Indian cuisine and has multiple outlets all over Australia.
While its difficult to describe Indian cuisine in a few words, it can be rightly said that India’s culinary landscape is very much based on the foundation of the deep cultural and traditional roots that the country holds onto.
Let’s dig deeper into the diversity of Indian cuisine by knowing about some of its popular cuisines.
North Indian

The must-have chicken stew
Chicken stew is definitely an important dish that you will see in Kerala during festivals and events. There is no event cuisine without some form of stew added to it. And the best part of the dish is that it is so easy to make this dish.
The combination of succulent chicken and the aroma of it getting cooked with traditional Kerala spices makes it irresistible for everyone. If you are finding it difficult to get your kids to have their breakfast every day, I suggest this dish. It would not only appeal to them but would also be a wholesome meal. It would give them the energy and strength they need for the whole day.
Cooking always had a calming effect on me. And on mornings when it is cold and raining outside, preparing a soup or a stew just feels right. Stews and soups are considered energizing and healthy side dishes suitable for everyone; yummy, nutritious, and easy to prepare. These piping-hot preparations are indispensable for use in cold winter months and as comfort food at other times. Of all the stew preparations, the stew, with some non-veg additions, makes a comforting and hearty dish. And so here I am going to make chicken stew in Kalavara, my Kerala Style Cooking Recipes channel, and explain how we can do it easily.
