I love the variety Indian food offers. Every region has a wide range of recipes to explore. For example, consider the southern part of India. If you explore South Indian cuisine, you will find that every sub-region has its own cuisine. In fact, what fascinates us most is the fact that the tastes of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka are different. Again, there is a new kind of food in Kerala food culture. The discreet bowl of sambal is also different in each subregion. So, it’s safe to say that South Indian food is spoiled for choice for us.
