The rice is accompanied with dry vegetable curries, salads, pickles, pachadis, raithas (curd pachadi), sambhar. rasam and curds. Payasam,a sweet preparation is served during special occasions. This book contains traditional recipes of South India. In each house the recipes are prepared according to their own heriditory taste. Hence one can alter the recipes according to their individual taste by changing the quantity of spices like chillies, salt, tamarind etc. Traditionally Andhra recipes are more spicy, Kerala recipes are coconut based, Tamil Nadu recipes are mild and less spicy, Karnataka recipes are little sweet as they use jaggery, Chettinad recipes are spicy and also sour as they contain more tamarind. For seasoning tamilians use gingilli oil, Keralites use coconut oil, Andhras use refined groundnut oil which gives a special taste to their recipes. Common and traditional names of the recipes are used in this book. In most of the curry/sambhar preparations, many other vegetable may be used.
