Sambar along with rasam were made and used more than 1200 years ago by Chera kings of Kerala. Long before marathas were born.Sambaji has nothing to do ith its name. Any tom dick and harry can write any nonsense at rediff
This attempt at denying Indians of the credit of inventing delicious dishes which the whole world adore, is very unfortunate. Firstly, Indian spices had always been in demand in Asia and Europe. Indian dishes are highly in demand in developed countries. Indians had always been the best in developing exotic dishes. This article makes some unfounded statements. Yes, Mughals had brought some foods but Indians were rich in food variety before the arrival of invaders. Thousands of years of old culture can not be ignored this way.
