Sambhar, the Heavenly Dish

Ramana Maharishi administered souls and with his cooking skills, fed their mouths with his heavenly Sambhar (stew).

Sambhar, the great heritage of South India, is a lentil-based vegetable stew, cooked with Pigeon Pea (Cajanus Cajan, legume) and tamarind broth. Aubergine or Baingan, onion, pumpkin and more vegetables are added over a low fire and subjected to a slow cooking process. To a Tamilian, from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, and a Keralite, it is a heavenly dish, which they slurp with such relish, it is a delight to witness.
