A diner's guide
Here are a few of the dishes you are likely to come across.
Authentic Sambar:
A highly spiced lentil soup with vegetables. Consistency can vary from thin to
thick. It is used as a dip for a range of breads as well as other south Indian dishes.
Dosa: These
rice-lentil crepes can be as big as a pizza serving dish. It is offered plain
or stuffed, most commonly with seasoned mashed potatoes. Dosa is offered with
sambar and authentic coconut chutney
for dunking. The batter is fermented a little before cooking. You can have your
dosa with your hands, opening the covering of it and using it to pick up the
filling in it. It is pliable, but hard than an Indian bread, naan.
Vada: These are
doughnuts that are spicy. Taste finest when freshly prepared.
With your fingers, tear the doughnut into smaller portions
and immerse it in the sambar as well as coconut chutney. At any south Indian vegetarian food restaurant,
you can order the doughnuts covered in a thick yogurt as well; it's okay to utilize
a spoon or fork to have them.
Idli: These
steamed rice & lentil cakes are a little sticky to the touch and if not
soft and bouncy can freak people out. Idlis are pretty spongy; they take in the
ever-present sambar. You can have it with
your hands, sinking the cakes into
the soup or coconut chutney. South Indians crumble their idli into sambar, a
lot like Westerners crush a saltine into a bowl of soup. Idlis are tasteless; therefore
they acquire readily other flavors added in it. Perfect idlis should be light,
fluffy as well as textured.
