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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

For Vegetables:

100 grams carrots or ½ cup carrots cut in batons

100 grams potatoes or ½ cup potatoes cut in batons

⅔ cup green peas – fresh or frozen

100 grams bell pepper or 1 medium-sized or ½ cup sliced bell pepper (capsicum), any colored variety

⅓ cup sliced onions

1 tablespoon oil – for sautéing bell peppers and onions

Other Ingredients:

2 tablespoons oil

¼ cup chopped onions

1 teaspoon Ginger Garlic Paste or ½ inch ginger and 3 to 4 garlic – crushed to a paste in mortar-pestle

200 grams tomatoes or 3 medium tomatoes pureed – about ⅔ cup tomato puree

¼ teaspoon turmeric powder

¼ teaspoon red chili powder or cayenne pepper

1.5 to 2 cups water or as required

salt as required

3 tablespoon light cream or cooking cream (low fat) or 1.5 tablespoons heavy or whipping cream

2 to 3 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves

1 inch ginger – julienne for garnish, optional

Making Kadai Masala:

Heat a small frying pan. Keep heat to a low and add the following spices – coriander seeds, cumin seeds, cloves, green cardamoms, cinnamon, dry kashmiri red chilies, kasuri methi, cashews and black peppercorns.

Stir often and roast on a low heat until the spices become fragrant. No need to brown the spices. Set aside.

Preparing Vegetables:

Blend tomatoes and make a smooth puree in the same mixer-grinder if its big enough or in another blender or mixer. No need to blanch tomatoes before pureeing. Set aside.

In a pan heat 1 tablespoon oil and add the sliced onions and sliced bell pepper. Use any colored bell pepper.

Stir very well and saute the onions and bell pepper on a low to medium heat.

Saute till the bell peppers are half cooked. Some crunch is desirable.

Remove the sauteed onions and bell peppers aside. Chop the potatoes and carrots in 2 inches batons and keep them aside too.

Making Veg Kadai:

In the same pan, then heat 2 tablespoons oil. Add ginger-garlic paste. Stir and sauté for some seconds on low until the raw aroma of ginger-garlic goes away.

Next add finely chopped onions.

Stir and saute the onions on medium-low to medium heat until they become light golden.

Add the prepared tomato puree. If using ready tomato puree, then add ⅔ cup tomato puree.

Add turmeric powder and red chili powder or cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.

Sauté the masala stirring often on low to medium-low heat till the tomato puree cooks, the masala thickens and you see oil releasing from the sides.

Then add the potato, carrot batons together with the green peas.

Stir and saute for a minute.

Add 1.5 to 2 cups water or as needed. Season with salt according to taste. Stir well.

Cover the pan. On a medium heat simmer and cook the veggies. Check from time to time and if required, add more water.

The veggies need to be cooked well yet still retain shape. They should not become too soft.

Then add the ground kadai masala reserving 1 teaspoon of it for garnish. Stir very well.

Add the sautéed bell peppers and onions. Mix and stir again.

Simmer for 5 to 6 minutes on low to medium-low heat. If the kadai vegetable gravy looks dry, then add some water.

Then add 3 tablespoons of light cream or low-fat cream or 1.5 tablespoons of heavy or whipping cream.

Stir and mix the cream with the rest of the gravy. Switch off the heat.

Lastly add chopped coriander leaves. Stir again very well.

Serve veg kadai gravy hot garnished with some chopped coriander, ginger julienne and sprinkled with the reserved kadai masala.

Accompaniments for veg kadai are tandoori roti, naan, chapati, paratha, bread. Also goes well with steamed rice, jeera rice or saffron rice.

Notes:

Add almonds or melon seeds in place of cashews. But note that either will give a unique, different flavor and taste to the gravy.

Omit kasuri methi, if you do not have them or add a light pinch of fenugreek powder.

Feel free to add your choice of vegetables. Keep in mind the cooking time of various vegetables that you want to add. Add veggies which cook longer first and when they are par-cooked, add the vegetables which take shorter time to cook.

Use any colored bell peppers or opt to add a mix of all colored varieties.

Kashmiri red chilies, do not make the dish spicy, but give it a vibrant orange color. For a spicy taste, use dry red chillies that are medium-hot in combination with kashmiri red chilies.

Fibromyalgia hair care, hair loss prevention edition:

I’ve struggled with hair loss for years, long before receiving my diagnosis. For a long time I thought it was purely due to anxiety, which is definitely a factor. But anyways, over the years I’ve come up with some strategies for preventing hair loss, as well as encouraging new hair growth which is equally important imo. Both stem from having a healthy scalp. I’ll list my tools and products here, as well as my routine for using them properly. My hair is extremely fine, and has so little texture it slips out of hair ties; this almost has a horseshoe effect though where it goes round the bend and has a lot of the same issues as very textured hair in terms of breakage, tangling, etc. so if you have textured hair, some of these techniques and/or products may work for you, but I can’t say for sure.

Tools:

Wide-tooth comb

Scalp massager

Bonnet/head scarf, and/or hair ties

Microfiber cloth

Products:

Bar shampoo (I use JR Liggets)

Deep conditioner (I use Trader Joe’s coconut hair mask)

The Ordinary - Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density

Aloe vera gel, no fragrances or other unnecessary additives (I use Lily of the Desert)

Hair oil (I’m currently using Virtue - Healing Oil bc I got a free sample of it lol, but any kind will do tbh)

Hair mask (I get mine from the Henna Guys, equal parts of their Fenugreek & Reetha Powder to prevent hair loss, and their Brahmi & Bhringraj Powder for hair growth)

Dry shampoo (I have a powdered one also from the Henna Guys for daily use bc it has no unnecessary additives, but I also use a regular aerosol one like Batiste if I’m going out)

Daily Routine:

Every night before bed, start by gently brushing your hair. If your hair is wet at all, use a wide tooth comb to avoid snagging tangles.

Fill a dropper’s worth of the Ordinary serum - squeeze half into your palm, and the other half directly onto the problem areas of your head (I do the crown.) Make sure not to touch the dropper to your skin or hair though, don’t want to contaminate it! Just hover above.

Using your finger of your other hand, apply the serum directly onto any other problem areas (I do my hairline and temples.) Gently rub in where you dripped onto your scalp as well.

Squeeze some aloe into your palm with the serum, and mix them together with the finger of your other hand. Rub your hands together, and apply the mixture evenly throughout your scalp. You can go back in with more aloe too if you want, your hair should be pretty saturated. It might seem like this will make your hair look greasy in the morning, but it’s actually the opposite, it acts kind of like a natural dry shampoo and prevents your scalp from producing unnecessary oil. (I discovered this by accident when I had a scalp sunburn, so it’s also great to do if you’ve been out in the sun at all lol.)

Put a few drops of hair oil into your palm. Rub your hands together, and smooth it into the length of your hair in downward strokes, but starting at the bottom and reaching closer too your scalp each time. Run any remnants through the hair at your scalp, a little will keep it healthy but a lot will make it greasy here.

Use the scalp massager all over your head, gently; this should feel really nice. Focus on problem scalp areas, as well as pressure points if you get frequent headaches (bonus for helping with that too lol.)

Put on your powdered dry shampoo, while your hair is still “damp” from the aloe. Brush your hair from scalp to tip with the wide tooth comb until you feel like everything is fairly evenly distributed.

Put your hair up in a clippy or something while you go about the rest of your nighttime routine (I do hair care > journaling > night meds > light yoga > teeth > skincare > bed.)

At bedtime, protect your hair with a bonnet or headscarf, should be silk or satin. Bonnets have been a huge thing in the Black community for ages, but really everyone (especially people with delicate hair of any kind) should get into them! They prevent your hair from getting pulled on by the friction that’s naturally created between your head and pillow while you sleep. It also keeps all those products we just applied on your head all night instead of your pillow. You’ll also notice it’s better for your skin; it keeps the hair products and skin products separate so they both stay clean. You’ll notice less hair loss AND fewer breakouts.

If you really don’t want to wear a bonnet or scarf, or if you’re staying over somewhere etc, the next best option is to put your hair in one or two braids. This at least does some work to prevent pulling and keep it off your face.

Weekly Routine:

Before washing, use a hair mask. This is a great chance to let products really soak into your scalp and hair shafts. The ones I use are all natural, traditional ingredients. Your hair will be softer, stronger, and shinier, but not from any residue left behind, just because it’s healthier.

I only wash my hair once a week, maybe twice if I’m going somewhere. The less you can wash your hair, the better. There is a transition period, but your hair really does adjust to not being washed as often. It’s important for scalp health not to be over-washed because it’ll start producing an excess of oil, and then you’ll just have to keep washing it, which keeps creating stress on your hair and pulling more out. A shampoo bar is a really easy and effective way to get the right amount of shampoo right where you need it; just rub it directly on your head and lather up. (The JR Liggets bar also has very limited ingredients, all natural, and as a bonus is sustainable bc no plastic.) Once you work the shampoo through your scalp and down to your ends with your fingers, grab your same scalp massager and use it too. (Be careful not to cause tangles though! Tiny gentle circular movements.)

Since you’re not conditioning your hair as often, you should use a deeper conditioner and leave it on for as long as the packaging says.

When you’re out of the shower, carefully use the wide tooth comb. Avoid products like detanglers, because they leave a residue on your hair and you’ll just end up having to wash it more often again. You shouldn’t need them if you deep conditioned. To dry your hair, gently scrunch it with the microfiber cloth. Don’t rub, we don’t want friction, but the microfiber will be able to absorb a lot of water without damaging your hair. From here, you can air dry it or put it into rollers if you want to add a natural curl/style. Avoid hair dryers and curling/straightening irons as much as possible; unfortunately heat is one of the worst things for hair and scalp health.

Other Notes:

When you’re outside, especially in summer, wear a hat as much as you can! Fibromyalgia and other chronic conditions can make you extremely sensitive to sun exposure, and hair isn’t enough to stop the UV rays. Your scalp with be a lot healthier if you protect it from the sun as often as you can. You can also use a parasol etc.

Try to avoid adding other styling products, because again you’ll just end up having to wash more often. But the aloe can be used as a natural gel, and the dry shampoo can be used as a volumizer.

Limit additives in your products as much as you can; all the specific ones I’ve listed here are a good start. The fewer ingredients, the fewer chances there are that you’ll have a bad reaction which could lead to a flare up.

Once again, I can only say for certain that these tips work on my specific hair type (fine, delicate, no texture,) and since every person is different some amount of trial and error will be involved to figure out what works best for you. But never give up, you deserve to put energy into having healthy and beautiful hair. I wish someone had told me any of this instead of spending years trying to figure it out alone, so I hope maybe someone can read this and save themselves some trouble lol. Remember, patience and consistency are key. It does take time and energy, but if you can spare a little for yourself each day or as often as possible, it’ll save you effort in the long run. Having a routine in general is very beneficial to your mental health, which makes you less stressed/anxious, which is already helping your hair too <3

[warvariations]

i guess i worded that a bit inaccurately :( sorry! my main concern is growing new hair really, i don't care that much about length. i did in fact get rid of the damaged hair a while ago! just feel like i lost a lot of density due to taking bad care of it -- maybe just being hugely stressed -- and haven't been able to get it back. i might have some mild seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp which is why i think not washing it properly might've had something to do with it too. thank u for the tips though! english isn't my 1st language so i'm just now realizing how ambiguous "hair growth" sounds haha. xx

Ohh no worries!! Once a month I use a ketoconazole shampoo to get rid of dht buildup and that's what people generally use for seborroic dermatitis, my partner has it and he uses it once a week to keep it from getting bad but he's gonna go to a dermatologist soon to see what else can be done.

For hair growth: amla oil, fenugreek oil, castor oil, bhringraj oil. You can buy them on amazon from the seller R. V. Essential. Use these as carrier oils and add a few drops of rosemary, mint, basil or lavender essential oil. I mix all of these together into a small bottle so I don't have to do it every time but you can start with amla and rosemary oil or whichever combo is most easily available to you. To be honest I don't know if any of this actually helps, my hair grows slowly and I don't have a lot of it, but oiling definitely helps my scalp be less dry plus I trust Ayurveda. The thing that actually made my hair look the best/fullest was to stuff myself with food till I felt sick every day :D

Oh and also henna, it makes yr hair strands thicker because it binds to the keratin and stays there forever. Just make sure it's 100% pure. It also helps w my winter flaky scalp.

Also I found that the lysine capsules that I take for herpes make my nails grow like crazy so I assume they're making my hair grow too but I don't notice that bc I don't have a mirror haha. I actually never see my hair unless I go to Athens which is one of the reasons why it feels so annoying. All of this work to never ever see it other than for a few minutes in a restaurant toilet every now and then. I have a tiny tiny mirror that I use to style it but I cannot se my whole head in it. It's crazy how I've been living I can't wait to move to a real house.

Good luck!!

How to Use Spices to Reduce Oil and Salt in Cooking Spices

Reducing oil and salt in your cooking doesn’t mean compromising on flavor. Spices are your best allies in creating dishes that are delicious and healthy. With their ability to enhance taste, aroma, and texture, spices make low-oil and low-salt meals exciting and satisfying.

Flavor Amplification with Spices:

Spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric are natural flavor enhancers. Adding these to your recipes minimizes the need for excessive salt or oil. For example, cumin's warm, nutty taste can elevate soups and stir-fries, while turmeric's earthy flavor adds depth to curries and lentils.

Using Heat and Aromatics:

Dry roasting spices such as mustard seeds or fenugreek before adding them to your dish enhances their natural oils, making the flavors more pronounced without needing extra cooking oil. Similarly, spices like garlic and ginger can be sautéed in minimal oil to build a flavorful base.

Salt Alternatives in Spice Blends:

Blends like chaat masala or pani puri masala contain tangy ingredients such as amchur and black salt, which mimic the salty taste while using less sodium. This makes them a great choice for salads, snacks, and chutneys.

Why Choose Dilhar:

Dilhar Spices are designed to bring out the best in your dishes with minimal additives. Our pure and potent turmeric, cumin, and other spices deliver maximum flavor, helping you cook healthier meals without compromising on taste.

Conclusion:

Cooking with less oil and salt doesn’t have to be bland. By creatively using spices, you can prepare meals that are vibrant, flavorful, and nourishing. Trust Dilhar Spices to make your low-oil and low-salt dishes taste exceptional!
