To be fair, I'd have to say I have never been to India, so I don't know exactly how food there tastes like.My mom does make curry, though, and so does my sister. My mom has a tendency to put plenty of coconut milk while my sister goes wild with the curry powder. In any case, I like chicken curry ^_^I once read a book, The Conch Bearer, and its setting is in India. My mouth watered in the same way the main character's mouth watered over onion pakoras and spinach dal. I tried wiki-ing it, discovering that pakoras are very much like tempuras.I once saw something on the grocery shelf called chiken kolchapuri. It looked really delicious on the box's label so I decided to try it. When I opened it around dinner time, it has a strange smell. It's not an offensive smell, just new, actually. I tasted a bit of the sauce and it was spicy but rather tolerable, methinks. I microwaved it and sat down to dinner with rice. The first spoonful was hot, both temperature-wise and taste-wise. I could smell a bit of some spices although, for the life of me, I could not identify what those were. The second and third spoonfuls saw me halving my glass of iced tea. Somehow, it didn't even work; my tongue is burning and beads of sweat formed on my forehead.After dinner, with a burning mouth, I had the vague notion of drinking milk. It did work somehow as the burning subsided. I felt hot and warm and exhausted so I laid down to rest a while. I do remember that I will only rest awhile because I needed to do something online. I woke up, however, and discovered I was out for four hours! So, I resolved, that's it for Indian food. No more Indian food for me, aside from Mama's curry.And lassi, too. I've read about it; something yogurt-like and fruity, I suppose. It sounds safe enough

Sambar is a vegetable stew or curry based on a broth made with tamarind and toor dal, especially in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

No food is considered complete without sambhar in a regular meal in south india

 

To cook it You'll need a recipe. And it will depend on the type of sambar u wanna prepare. What i'm saying is that sambar is dependent on geographical area. still i'll provide a link for that

So happy eating sambar

South indian dishes are quite common in my country, and also there are restaurants selling north indian food. I don't think some of the south indian dishes are authentic Indian-Indian food though. It could be like a fusion of Indian food and our local flavours. But I LOVE Indian food, especially their curries. I like spicy stuff, and the spices they use smell so lovely. My favorites are thosai and prata, though I think the tastiness is really dependent on the quality and flavor of their curries/gravy. i like mutton and chicken curry personally. I think north indian food is a bit too sweet, at least that's what I perceive of those I've eaten.

The mere sight of the Sambar has me salivating! Alas, it's near midnight and too late to eat without suffering reprocutions of some sort or the other. And so I satisfy my hunger with single-malt scotch and ale of an American persuasion. I have often tried my hand at Indian savories with poor results. Although, my Indian Chole isn't too awful. Living in a rural area, I don't have the luxury of hitting the nearest Indian buffet whenever the mood hits. Such are my torments. I do, however, have a standing offer to visit a friend in Egypt...a wee bit closer to the source of cuisine I love so dearly. And I hear Taj Majal beer is more affordable there!
