Exotic Cuisines & Culinary Adventure – Indian Panorama

Description

Food In Tamilnadu -India

India’s southernmost state has a cuisine based around rice- traditionally wheat was not a part of the diet here. Fermented and steamed rice cakes, idli, are the staple breakfast food and served with an array of chutneys and sauces. Uthappam are fermented rice and dhal pancakes while dosa is perhaps the best known of the unique rice preparations of the deep south- paper-thin and often huge crepe-like rice creations, served with vegetables, chutneys and more. Pepper is often the source of much of the heat of South Indian food, but chilis are used too of course.
