Answer 2

Namboori Sambar/Namboothiri Sambar is a local variety of Sambar very popular in some parts of Kerala...I'm not sure whether the name owes to the Namboothiri who cooked it or the cuisine style of the Namboothiri(Kerala Brahmins) sect....Namboothiris in Kerala are known to have a very elite culinary culture, a very tasty one indeed...Some sections of the Namboothiris are famous as 'Adukkala Namboothiris' or Kitchen Nampoothiris who cooked food in some of the famous Temples in Kerala like the Vaikom Siva temple(Muttassu Namboothiri family) or in the Royal families.It is quite interesting to note here that all the cooking ingredients are basically divided into 'Satwik' and 'Asatwik' according to the Indian Brahminical tradition. Satwik is considered to be divine and edible while Asatwik are not.So Non vegetarian, garlic,onions etc belong to the Asatwik category and Brahmins generally do not prefer them....It is believed that eating Asatwik food stimulates asatwik qualities in man....which means that non vegetarians tend to have more negative inclinations!! Ha! Ha!Could be true...We dont spare our fellow beings!!...Unfortunately we are weak hearted beings who succumb to the temptations...a chicken fry? Gone to thin air all our divinity!!...Well,may be it is 'Satwik' quality of the food that made it all the more very tempting.Interestingly Whatever could be the origin of the name but this sambar will make you lick all the five fingers!!(Not so pleasant a sight? Try it, and u can't resist it!).Unfortunately my Namboori Sambar has not come so photogenic to match its classic taste, but dont be put off, tis definitely an excellent sambar variety.
