| Masala Dosa, South Indian Food |
The most
important question when travelling – what kind of food do you get
there?
In
comparison to the North, South-Indian kitchen is relatively light.
There are many rice dishes, vegetables and coconut. You will not get
that many heavy curries with a lot of butter, that one might know
from the North.

In the
morning many locals take Idlis, rice cakes. They are eaten with
various sauces.
In
cheaper places, the dishes are served more likely on a banana leaf
than on a ordinary plate.

For
lunch, Indians tend to eat unbelievable amounts of food – Thali is
usually the dish to go for. Thalis you find all over India. Thalis
are always nice and they taste different, wherever you go. They
always come with rice and bread. Everything else depends on the
season and what is available. You get different vegetable curries,
chutneys, ginger and sauces.
Sometimes there is also yoghurt or
sweets. Thalis are also good for the very hungry – you can ask for
more from all dishes till you are full.
