South Indian food has always been a temptation all over India. The steam cooked Idlis, variety of Dosas, vegetables filled Uttapam, different flavors of Rasam, Sambhar, huge range of chutneys and pickels, a wide range of rice delicacies and mouthwatering desserts, the list is never ending.

A South Indian Platter

In India, the same ingredients give very different taste when cooked in different ways. For example; Arhar dal (lentil) is made with cumin seeds seasoning in North India, while the same dal tastes so different in Sambhar with curry leaves, and mustard seeds seasoning… While in North India wheat is a staple, in South India, most of the delicacies are rice and lentils based.

In India, almost every family has its own recipes for day-to-day and festival foods - sometimes the recipes are passed down for generations. It is not possible to zero in on a single perfect recipe or the most authentic recipe…take what pleases your palate!! I hope you enjoy these recipes and yes, your valuable comments are always welcome…

Happy Cooking,
