India is a treasure trove of diverse flavours, spices and cooking techniques. Each region in the country has its own culinary traditions that reflect its cultural heritage and history, from the rich and creamy dishes of the North to the nuanced and flavourful cuisines of the South. While there are many popular dishes that we all know about, there are many little-known regional dishes that are equally delicious and worth discovering the states of Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana make up the South of India. Here are some to add to your culinary bucket list from this part of the country.
Just like language and culture, cuisines also change dramatically as we cross geographical borders, impacted by the availability of local produce, weather conditions, and landforms. Despite our strong attachment to regional food, we have largely been hesitant to introduce it to the wider world, uncertain about how it will be received. The southern region of India is known for its diverse and vibrant culinary traditions. Each state in the region has its own distinct cuisine, which makes discovery of food in the south an exciting culinary adventure.
