Butternut Squash Sambar
Butternut Squash Sambar
"A healthy twist on sambar made with 100% butternut squash as a base. I REALLY enjoy hearty and creamy soups. This healthy keto-friendly Indian flavored soup (sambar) is going to trick your tastebuds like no other and can be enjoyed all year long. Perfect for diabetics, because there is zero addition of sugars! With that said, I’m going to be very honest here and tell you that butternut squash is not on my grocery list-EVER. Happy eating, Folks!"
NotesTO SAVE DISHES:
I steam the butternut squash in an Instant Pot. I puree with a hand blender and then set the pot to saute mode while continuing on with the recipe.
In one small pot, I sautee/steam vegetables first and then do the tempered oil after a quick paper towel sweep.
