               SOUTH INDIAN CUISINE

South Indian cuisine is distinguished by a greater emphasis on
rice as the staple grain, the liberal use
of coconut and particularly
coconut oil and curry
leaves, and the ubiquity of sambar and rasam
(also
called saaru'/'chaaru) at meals.

The dosa, idli, vada, bonda, and bajji are typical
South Indian
snacks. These are generally consumed
as breakfast. Andhra,
Chettinad, Hyderabadi,
Mangalorean, and Kerala cuisines each
have distinct
tastes and methods of cooking. In fact each of the
South Indian states has a different way of preparing
sambar; a
connoisseur of South Indian food will very
easily tell the difference
between sambar from Kerala
and sambar from Tamil nadu and
pappu pulusu in
Andhra cuisine.huren
