South Indian cuisine is mainly rice based. Rice is combined with other grains to make
dosas,
idlis,
vadas and uttapams. These items are delicious and digestible. They are accompanied with sambar, rasam, pachadi or dry and curried vegetables.
South Indian chutneys are made of tamarind, coconut, peanuts, dal, fenugreek seeds, and cilantro. South Indian dishes are a right blend of flavors, colors, seasoning, nutritional balance, fragrance, taste, and visual appeal. Madras cafes are popular South Indian restaurants throughout the world.
