With whats locally available, its way easier to whip up a nice malai kofta than it is to make <I>aviyal</I>! speaking of <I>aviyal</I>, its not easy to get the whole gamut of vegetables required for that outside India and some south-east asian countries...<BR/><BR/>maybe thats why north Indian food took off way faster than south Indian food did... <BR/><BR/>And having treated people of different nationalities to good wholesome Indian vegetarian cooking, i believe it takes a genuine gourmet to appreciate the intricacies of a good south Indian meal, with <I>kuzhambu</I>, <I>rasam</I>, <I>kootu</I>, 2 types of vegetables, 2 salads, <I>pachadi</I>, pickle, <I>appalams</I>, <I>vadai</I> and a nice <I>paayasam</I>... hmmm... that made me really hungry...Vidyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09983815036723926607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30445236.post-1156965097511917342006-08-30T14:11:00.000-05:002006-08-30T14:11:00.000-05:00Hmmmmm I guess because the north-indian cuisine is...Hmmmmm I guess because the north-indian cuisine is much richer so it would be nice such rich foods in restaurants !!! south-indian food are on the other hand much leaner- thats my thought...Revathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16998621562473673490noreply@blogger.com
