Masala Dosa

Thin, crisped rice-and-lentil crepe stuffed with spiced potato masala, served with sambar and coconut chutney — the benchmark dish for any South Indian kitchen

Idli Sambar

Soft, cloud-like steamed rice cakes paired with a deeply spiced lentil-vegetable sambar and fresh chutneys — the definitive South Indian breakfast

Medu Vada

Crispy fried lentil donuts with a savory, peppery crumb — best eaten immediately from the fryer dunked into sambar

Uttapam

Thick fermented rice pancake loaded with onions, tomatoes, and green chilies — heartier than dosa and a great alternative for those wanting something more substantial

Filter Coffee

Traditional South Indian decoction brewed through a metal filter and frothed with milk — the only proper way to finish a South Indian meal

Pongal

Slow-cooked rice-and-moong-dal porridge seasoned with black pepper, cumin, and ghee — a humble, deeply comforting dish that separates the serious kitchens from the rest
