Arachuvitta Sambar

Freshly Ground Lentil & Coconut Stew
Ready-to-Cook Meal Base

What is Arachuvitta Sambar? "Arachuvitta" means "freshly ground" in Tamil. Unlike regular sambar, this version is made with toor dal, chana dal and a hand-roasted, freshly ground masala of coconut, coriander seeds and red chillies, giving it a richer aroma, deeper flavor, and a slightly thicker texture. Make it hearty by adding up to 450g of vegetables such as pumpkin, carrot, raw banana, eggplant and drumstick. Serve with rice, idli, dosa, or vada.

✅ Simmers in just 7 minutes
✅ One box makes about 3 lbs of sambar
✅ No preservatives
✅ Authentic South Indian taste

One box, many meals: In our kitchen, one box made about 3 lbs of sambar. That was enough to pack 4 lunch boxes, with leftovers for dinner with idli or dosa.

Servings per box: 4

Preparation Instructions:

  1. Cut up to 450g of vegetables (suggestions: pumpkin, carrot, raw banana, eggplant, drumstick). Some boxes include a few drumstick pieces in the base; add your own if you'd like more. Pro Tip: More veggies = More quantity of sambar
  2. Heat a little oil in a pan and lightly sauté the vegetables.
  3. Add water and cook until the vegetables are soft.
  4. Add the Arachuvitta Sambar base and mix well.
  5. Add up to 3 cups of water and salt to taste.
  6. Cook together for 7 mins.
  7. Garnish with coriander and curry leaves (optional).
  8. Serve hot with rice, idli, dosa, or vada. (For enhanced taste, add a spoonful of ghee to sambar while serving)
