Keto Sambar Recipe in 15 Minutes

Keto Sambar Recipe

Sambar is a quintessential dish of South India, and Sri Lankan as well. It is a lentil-based vegetable stew, or chowder in some cases, cooked together with dal and tamarind. Today, we’re going to discuss its Ketogenic variant, the Keto Sambar.

Sambar is a lentil-based vegetable stew, cooked with pigeon pea and tamarind broth. It is popular in South Indian, Sri Lankan and Maldivian cuisines — Wikipedia.

In order to make Sambar keto-friendly, we need to remove lentil and tamarind broth from the recipe. Next, we need to substitute the same with keto-friendly ingredients. If you are worried about the taste, don’t. Keto Sambar is as good in flavour as is the traditional sambar, or might be even better.
