South Indian cuisine is distinguished by a greater emphasis on rice as the staple grain, the ubiquity of sambar and rasam (also called saaru), a variety of pickles, and the liberal use of coconut, lanka chillies, and particularly coconut oil and curry leaves.

The dosa, poori, idli, vada, bonda, and bajji are typical South Indian favorites. These are generally consumed at breakfast.



Andhra, Chettinad, Tamil, 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, sambar from Tamil cuisine, Sambar from Karnataka and pappu chaaru in Andhra cuisine.

Some popular dishes include the prawn biriyani and paper thin pathiris from Malabar area.
