The warm weather of South India lends itself to lighter fare and has an emphasis on fresh vegetables. South Indian cuisine is mostly rice based. Rice is combined with lentils to make wonderful dosas (a specialty of Saravanaas), idlis, vadas, and uttapams. Pure rice preparations, like lemon rice and curd rice, are also masterful creations.

South Indian chutneys, also famous, are made of tamarind, coconut, peanuts, lentil, fenugreek seeds, and cilantro. These chutneys are light, more flavored and aromatic, and are the perfect complement to the food they accompany.

A benefit to South Indian cuisine is its healing powers. All rice preparations (due to the fermentation process), curd and cardamom are said to be both nutritious and to aid in digestion. In addition, chilies contain an ingredient that is said to help relieve arthritis pain.
