This sambar is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The spices and the tamarind help to mask the taste of the vegetables, so even picky eaters will enjoy it. I like to serve it with rice and a side of papadum.

I've been making this Udupi sambar for years, and it's always a hit with my family and friends. The key is to use fresh ingredients and to not skimp on the spices. I also like to add a bit of jaggery to balance out the sourness of the tamarind.
