  • South Indian Cuisine

    South Indian Cuisine

    SOUTH INDIAN CUISINE South Indian Cuisine is a term used to refer to the cuisines found in the four southern states of India, namely Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. As opposed to North Indian cuisine, there is limited use of garam masala and other dried spices except cardamom, black pepper and turmeric. South Indian cuisine is rice based. Rice is combined with lentils to make wonderful dosas, idlis, vadas and uttapams. These items are glorious and delicious besides being nourishing and digestible (due to the fermenting process). They are combined with sambhar (dal), rasam (tamarind dal), dry and curried vegetable and pachadi (yogurt). Their rice preparations are also masterpieces like biryani from Hyderabad, lemon rice and rice seasoned with coconut peanuts, tamarind, chilies, curry leaves, urad dal and fenugreek seeds. South Indian chutneys are made of tamarind, coconut, peanuts, dal, fenugreek seeds, and cilantro. Meals are followed by coffee. South Indian dals and curries are more soupy than North Indian dals and curries. South Indian cuisine is also hotter. Coconut milk straight from the nut is a common beverage and sight in South India. Coffee is very popular in South India and Madras coffee is popular in South Indian restaurants throughout the world. The South Indian food is a brilliant blend of flavors, colors, seasoning, nutritional balance, fragrance, taste, and visual appeal. PARIMARAL - THE SOUTH INDIAN TRADITION OF SERVING A TRADITIONAL MEAL A typical traditional meal in South India is served on a "Vazhaillai", a freshly cut plantain leaf. The Sappad or food that is served on a banana leaf (even the size of the leaf varies from one community to another) is displayed like an identity card.

Storage condition of a crop is dependent on the function of composition, resistance to attacks by microorganisms, external conditions of temperature and gases in the environment • The most important characteristic of freshly harvested fruits and vegetables is that they are alive and respiring. • Ripening rendering the produce edible; as indicated by by taste. During ripening, starch is converted to sugar. When respiration declines, senescence (it ends at the death of the tissue of the fruit) develops in the last stage. • Maturity is indicated by skin colour, optical methods, shape, size, aroma, fruit opening, leaf changes and firmness. • Low temperature also disrupt the complex sequence of biochemical reactions taking place in plant tissue and cause a disorder known as chilling injury. • After harvesting decline in the rate of oxygen uptake and Carbon dioxide evolution to a low value is followed by a shark rise to a peak, terminating in pest- climacteric stage. The peak to minimum ratio tends to increase with temperature. this ratio varies among fruits. the slope of the rise varies with species maturity, temperature and the oxygen and Carbon dioxide of the storage chamber. Plant product storage Fresh fruits and vegetable maintain life processes during storage. As long as they are alive, they are able to resist the growth of spoilage organisms to some degree.
