Chef's Notes
Temple-style sambar relies on freshly roasted spices and a generous amount of coconut. Do not rush the spice roasting stage, or you will lose that signature depth of flavor.
Pro Tip
When grinding the coconut paste, make sure the roasted spices are completely cool to prevent separating the coconut oils incorrectly. Texture is everything!
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you dump the coconut paste into boiling liquid without letting the vegetables soften first, you will end up with crunchy raw veggies swimming in a separated, grainy coconut soup of despair.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
They call it 'Temple Style' because you have to spend an eternity waiting for it to cool down just like waiting for a priest to finish the final chant.
The Culinary Science
Roasting spices breaks down their tough cell walls and releases fat-soluble aromatic compounds into the oil, exponentially multiplying their fragrance.
