South India Travels!

View of the Backwaters Kochi! Kerala! Backwaters!  It might seem The southern part of India is my favourite. But, even I am not sure, what influences me to travel to that part of the country!  It was work for one part of it, It was sightseeing the Other Time and it was food and rejuvenation for this time.  All the sides of the South have so much to offer! Just like the other states of India!…

South Indian Rava idli Dish

Rava Idli is a popular dish of South Indian cuisine, which represents a modern twist on the traditional idli. It uses semolina (rava), which is mixed with yogurt and vegetables in the idli batter. This idli is prepared in steam and is typically served with coconut chutney or sambar. The texture of Rava Idli is soft and its preparation time is also less as compared to traditional Idli.

Tonight's delight: Some Kathirikai Kara Kuzhambu from a place we decided to try for the first time, Marias Indian Kitchen.

For some obvious historical reasons, there are a LOT more South Asian restaurants around London than here. You're particularly well set if you want Punjabi or Bengali/Bangladeshi food there, besides your basic vaguely Northern-influenced BIR style. But, there are at least a couple of places here in Malmö offering South Indian stuff, which I was actually more used to getting before moving to the UK. Including this one, which has good reviews and sounded worth a try.

Marias was sadly out of idlis tonight, so I didn't end up getting an order of those. (Which bodes well for their using proper longer-fermented batter, which you can't just whip more of up in a hurry.) So, they unintentionally saved me from double carbing it tonight! I didn't order the dosas, so no idea if they had any of that batter left. Any kind of pancakey thing is so much better fresh out of the pan, that I figured I'd just be disappointed with delivery.

The kuzhambu was obviously catering to local tastes, with both chili levels and rice amounts. But, it was very tasty otherwise. I ended up quickly frying up a couple of slices of halloumi on the side to help balance things out with more protein, since this was all saucy eggplant.

THE SOUTH INDIAN FOODS

The South Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka each have their own variants of common dishes as well as regional specialties. For an introduction to South Indian cuisine, here are 10 dishes to look out for.

1. Dosas: paper-thin crepes

A traditional breakfast food made of fermented rice-and-lentil batter, a dosa is much like a crispy thin crepe. It’s accompanied by sambar (a hot lentil soup) and coconut chutney.

Masala dosas are stuffed with a spicy mash of potato and onion; plain dosas are hollow; rava dosas are made from semolina; and some new-age variants get creative with fillings such as cottage cheese or mixed vegetables.

Whatever you choose (trust us and start with a masala dosa), the delightfully light dish is best eaten hot, when it’s fresh off the griddle.

2. Idlis: steamed rice cakes

Soft, fluffy and ivory-coloured, idlis are what many South Indian families eat for breakfast. A fermented lentil-and rice-batter is steamed in little circular moulds, and the resulting spherical rice cakes are served with sambar and chutneys.

Idlis are light and mild tasting, an ideal snack for when you want to give your stomach a rest from fiery flavours.

3. Vadas: savoury doughnuts

What’s that doughnut-like thing doing on your South Indian breakfast thali (platter)? While a vada won’t cure your sugar cravings, it will satiate your desire for something deep fried, hot and crispy.

Made from a batter of black lentils, gently spiced with peppercorns, curry leaves, cumin, chilli and onion, this crunchy fritter tastes best when smeared generously with coconut chutney.

4. Uttapams: pizza-pancake hybrids

Is it a pancake? Is it a pizza? No, it’s an uttapam. A batter of fermented rice and lentils is ladled on to a griddle. Chopped tomato, onion, chillies, carrot, coconut and other toppings are then sprinkled on. The result is a fluffy, porous, delicious uttapam, softer than a dosa, and tastes great with chutneys or without.

9. Biryani: something like pilaf

The ubiquitous biryani is found in different forms all over India, changing in flavour and preparation style according to regional influences.

Biryani is essentially a dish of rice cooked with meat, veggies and spices such as turmeric, cardamom, bay leaves, cinnamon, cloves, and pepper; sometimes garnished with cashews, raisins and caramelized onions. It can be vegetarian or have meats such as chicken, mutton or beef.

While there is no single South Indian-style biryani, you’ll find different varieties such as Hyderabadidum biryani, Kerala-style Malabar or Thalasserybiryani, the coastal Karnataka variant of Bhatkalibiryani, Tamil Nadu’s Dinidgulbiryani and so on.
