South Indians are linguistically and culturally different from the rest of India, although mutual interaction and the impress of similar external influences have made much cultural impact. The very mentioning of the name of South India, brings to ones mind the tastes of Idlis, dosas, Sambhar and Vada. But there are more than these that can treat the taste buds. The final tempering with oil, mustard seeds, curry leaves, red chillies and urad dhal is almost the same for most of the dishes.
