The oil in the seeraga samba rice reduces cholesterol. It is rich in fibre; hence, it reduces the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and increases high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in the body.

However if you live in a country where curry leaves are not available then feel free to skip them. I would not suggest using dried curry leaves as they lend a weird flavour. The kind of spices and their proportions vary with the regional variations. So no two sambar recipes will taste the same as the ingredients and vegetables used differ and vary.

To begin making South Indian One Pot Sambar Rice Recipe, heat a small saucepan with a teaspoon of ghee. If you plan to make sambar good enough for a couple of days. Then avoid tempering the entire sambhar. Just cool down the sambar and transfer to separate small portions and refrigerate.A mix of tur dal and masoor dal can also be used.

Traditionally sambar was tempered with ghee. However different regions use different fats. In tamilnadu sesame oil is used. In kerala coconut oil is used. But ghee lends much superior taste than any of these. Cover the pan with its lid for 4 to 5 minutes, so that the aroma and flavors from the tempering mixture get infused with the sambar.

The major reason behind the usage of seeraga samba rice with Biriyani is because of the presence of ß-Sitosterol which helps in pulling out the cholesterol with them.
