Description

Experience the rich, homestyle flavours of South India with Pot & Ladle’s Chinna Vengaya Sambar — a classic lentil-based curry made with small shallots and traditional spice blends.

In Tamil kitchens, chinna vengayam (small onions or shallots) are prized for their natural sweetness and deep aroma. Slow-cooked with protein-rich toor dal and tamarind extract, this sambar develops a beautifully balanced flavour — mildly tangy, gently spiced, and deeply comforting. The addition of freshly tempered mustard seeds, curry leaves, and aromatic spices enhances its authentic character.

A staple in everyday meals and festive spreads alike, Chinna Vengaya Sambar pairs perfectly with steamed rice, idli, dosa, or pongal. Pot & Ladle recreates this timeless favourite using carefully selected ingredients and traditional cooking techniques — delivering authentic taste in a convenient ready-to-eat format.
