Konkani Sambar: A Coastal Potpourri
We have clearly demarcated states in India. However it is impossible to draw a line through culture and divide it into states. The Konkan belt in India includes parts of Maharastra, Karnataka and Goa. This Konkani sambar is a dish resulting from the mix of cultures. The sambar recipe basically originated in North Canara. However, people from Goa, Maharashtra and Karnataka relish Konkani sambar.
This sambar recipe is slightly different from the other popular kinds of sambar. Like all other Konkani recipes, fresh coconut is added to Kokani sambar as well. This recipe also has special Konkani spices that makes it taste different from other sambar recipes. In Konkani, this dish is called the Konkani kolombo.
