South Indian food is largely non-greasy, roasted and steamed. Rice is the staple diet and forms the basis of every meal. It is usually served with
sambhar, rasam (a thin soup), dry and curried vegetables and a curd preparation called
pachadi. Coconut is an important ingredient in all South Indian food. The South Indian
dosa (rice pancakes),
idli (steamed rice cakes) and
vada, which is made of fermented rice and
dal, are now popular throughout the country. The popular dishes from Kerala are
appams (a rice pancake) and thick stews. Desserts from the south include the Mysore
pak and the creamy
payasum.
