About Mango Sambar

Raw Mango Sambar also known as Manga Sambar is one of the most flavorful sambar recipes. Whenever I get raw mango either I use it for mango pachadi or make this sambar or very rarely use it for fish kuzhambu. Raw mango takes sambar to a whole new level with its flavor, tastes best the next day too.

Whenever I make mango sambar the first thing that comes to my mind is the way my cousin brother eat this sambar. During our childhood days I have seen him reserve all the mango part separated from sambar then finally add sugar to it and and enjoy. I haven’t tried it so far but these memories haunt me often.

Mango Sambar Ingredients

• Raw Mango – Choose unripe mango which works perfect for sambar.
• Toor dal – Toor dal is most commonly used for sambar.
• Onion, Tomato – Small onion adds taste to sambar so I always use that. Tomato is roughly chopped and sauteed well until raw smell leaves.
• Sambar Powder – Sambar powder adds flavor and aroma to sambar.
• Tempering – A tempering is made with oil, mustard seeds, urad dal, fenugreek seeds, curry leaves, red chilies and hing.
• Turmeric powder – Turmeric powder is added while cooking dal and vegetables.
• Coriander leaves – Coriander leaves is added for garnish, adds great flavor so sambar so don’t miss it.

Expert Tips

• Tempering at the last stage always retains the flavor.
• Take care not to much the mango, keep an eye while it gets cooked.
• Tamarind used should be very less for this sambar as mango itself is very tangy.
• Smells and tastes good for 2 days if refrigerated. But heat it once in between cool down and then refrigerate.
• Switch off according to the thick consistency you prefer. But it thickens with time so switch off accordingly.
