Go beyond the traditional lentil Sambar with Idlis and Dosas and try this healthier, more flavorful, pumpkin Sambar recipe.
To balance out the flavors of the other ingredients and to bring in a bit of sweetness, you can also add some jaggery into the Sambar.
Veggies like okra, green beans, drumstick, tomatoes and carrots or all great additions to a classic Sambar recipe and you can add them to this version as well.
I’ve used finely chopped red onions for this recipe, but if you can get your hands on the tiny Sambar onions, I would highly recommend using them instead.
