Frequently Asked Questions

What vegetables are traditional in sambhar? Classic sambhar uses drumstick (moringa), brinjal, pearl onions, tomatoes, and sometimes radish, green beans, or potato — any combination of these vegetables works.

Can I make sambhar without tamarind? Tamarind is essential for the sourness of sambhar — you can substitute with a small amount of dried kokum or a splash of lemon juice, but tamarind is the traditional and most authentic option.

How spicy is Everest Sambhar Masala? It has a moderate South Indian heat level — bold and aromatic but not overwhelmingly hot, suitable for most palates.
