Sambar (Tamil: [saːmbaːɾ] , romanized: Sāmbār) is a lentil-based vegetable stew, cooked with pigeon pea and tamarind broth.[1] It originates from South Indian cuisine and now popular in large parts of India and beyond. The stew is similar to an other Burmese cuisine dish used as a popular accompaniment to Burmese curries.[2] It has also been introduced into the culinary habits of Sri Lanka since the 20th century, among many other elements of South Indian cookery.
