In this article we will discuss two sub-cuisines of the Indian cuisine: South Indian and North Indian. Although these two cuisines belong to the same country there are various differences between them from taste to texture to spices to the way that they are consumed. South Indian dishes are more subtle and carry a distinguished taste of coconut in them whereas North Indian dishes are all about the spices and tanginess. There are various components in a complete Indian meal. 

 

In North Indian cuisine there are: 

1.      Curry or dal

2.      Dry vegetable sabzi

3.      Rice

4.      Chapatis

5.      Salad

6.      Curd or raita or chach

7.      Pickles or papads 

 

A South Indian meal includes: 

1.      Sambar or rasam

2.      Rice or upma or idli or dosa 

3.      Coconut chutney 

 

These aren't all the components but they are the most important ones. Such small components when combined together make a perfect, well balanced, healthy and delicious Indian meal. The flavours of these components come together to take your tongue on a roller coaster ride. One worth every penny! 

 

Making the most of each of your visits to an Indian restaurant is a must, mainly because if you go unprepared it will be difficult for you to guess and choose the dish that will match your expectations and taste. Here are a few tips that will come handy when you visit an Indian restaurant abroad like Dosa and More in Germany or in India itself: 

1.      Know your limit: Indian food can vary from subtle, mild to very spicy and tangy. Before ordering always conform with the server or the chef if the dish you are placing an order for is mild, moderate or spicy. 

2.      Express your taste: Some people simply cannot bear the extra spicy flavours, but still wish to try the Indian dish they have read or heard about. In such cases it is best to express how spicy you want your meal to be and if it is possible to dial down the spice without killing the authenticity of the dish. 

3.      Ask questions about ingredients: Indian dishes are a combination of various powers or masalas, groceries, veggies and much more. Even a simple Indian chutney is a blend of at least 3-4 herbs and a few spices. Before placing your order, always ask about the basic ingredients of the dish and tell the server about your allergies so that your experience doesn't turn into a disaster. 

4.      Embrace: The whole purpose of trying something new is to embrace it and food helps a person greatly know about the culture of a land. Embrace the flavours and beauty of the Indian dishes in their natural and authentic form to make the most of your experience. The flavours and texture of dishes might differ from what you usually consume but once you get the hold of them, Indian dishes become irresistible.
