South Indian Recipes
I was born in Tamil Nadu with family roots in Kerala, and worked in Karnataka and love Andhra food - the four southern states of India. So this section has a collection of my favourite recipes shared by mom, neighbours, and friends.
Each state in India has its cuisine but here, I have broadly classified them as South Indian recipes and North Indian recipes because the ingredients used are similar among them. Here you will find the famous Sambar recipe, the deep-fried Murukku, Kerala's kappa and beef, and the one dessert that is common across the states - Rava Kesari. Of course, there is a biryani recipe too!
