The blend of spices in South Indian curries is well-known. It's excellent because of the combination of veggies and dry Indian curry spices, and most of them contain coconut. These curries' rich flavour, taste, and aroma can make anyone hungry. South Indian food never fails to impress our taste buds with its unique dishes, whether coconut milk's richness or the sputter of mustard seeds and curry leaves. Moreover, South Indian food includes a wide range of regional specialties, as well as mouth-watering vegetarian and non-vegetarian curries to enjoy, in addition to piping-hot sambar! On the one hand, there is Kerala's zesty and flavorful cuisine, which is primarily non-vegetarian, and on the other, there is Tamil Nadu's cuisine, which features numerous vegetarian pleasures.
