Best Sambar Rice in London, Ontario

About Our Sambar Rice

Sambar Rice, known as 'Sambar Sadam' in Tamil or 'Bassaru' in Kannada, is one of the most beloved South Indian comfort foods. At Udupi Dosa in London, Ontario, our Sambar Rice is made by cooking parboiled rice with our slow-cooked sambar — a rich lentil stew prepared with tamarind, toor dal, tomatoes, seasonal vegetables, and a proprietary blend of South Indian spices.

The sambar used in our Sambar Rice is the same one served alongside our dosas and idlis — slow-cooked for hours to develop a deep, complex flavour. When combined with rice and the gentle crunch of a spiced tadka (tempering) of mustard seeds, dried red chillies, and curry leaves, the result is a comforting, nutritious one-pot meal that is simply irresistible.
