India holds one of the most ancient and dynamic histories of delicious cuisines. Particularly in South India with its climatic peculiarities - continuous rainfall and a perpetually sultry atmosphere – you’ll find a great variety of such delicious cuisines.

Since most Indians are vegetarians, a majority of the South Indian food recipes are purely vegetarian. South Indians use abundantly available fresh fruits and vegetables for their meals. They also employ rice in almost all of their meals. The spice level in these dishes is considerably high, making most of the South Indian food very spicy yet extremely delicious.

The love for rice is reflected in South Indian recipes. Either rice is taken boiled, or it may be used as steamed rice cakes called Idlis, or whisked into a batter with lentil flour to make thin pancakes called Dosas or Uttapams.

Rice is often accompanied by soup-like, spice infused lentil dish called Sambar, or a lentil dish having hot and spicy flavors called Rasam. Stir fried vegetables, vegetables in delicious curries and some meat dishes are also available on the menu. Deep-fried lentil pancakes called Poppadums, spicy lentil dishes, Vadas and Payasam are some of the other specialties of South India which will keep you hooked to this cuisine.
