Hello Local Guides
Exploring different local cuisines is one of my favourite things to do as a local guide.
This is my first post sharing my food exploration. I would love to share about other places and types of food in upcoming posts.
I came across this South Indian Restaurant called South Tiffin House and was eager to try the food here.
I visited this place a few times.
The best part I liked about this place was the service and staff, they cleaned the tables with sanitizer after every use. Proper social distance was kept while making seating arrangements
I tried multiple dishes here and totally loved them.
- Malabar / Kerala parotta
This is one of the popular dishes in South India. It is a flat layered bread made with all purpose flour and served with mix vegetable curry which was made using coconut milk
- Tomato rice
This one is a bit different from the actual tomato rice but I loved the simplicity of this dish, it had tomatoes and peanuts in it served with papadam.
- Onion Uttapam and plain dosa
Classic and most popular onion uttapam is soft as a pancake but savoury and has onions and green chillies in it.
Plain dosa is a crisp thin dosa, it’s very light and filling.
- Ghee Pudi /podi Idli
Ghee is widely used in many south Indian dishes this one was mini idli tempered with ghee (clarified butter) and pudi masala which is a mix of different spices, curry leaves, shredded coconut and coriander addss refreshing taste.
- Bisi /Besi bele bhaat
This is one of my favourite dishes. It has a lot of flavour and spices. It is made using rice, lentils and veggies and a special spice mix which is made with roasted and crushed whole spices. It is served with plain curd, and masala boondi.
- Filter coffee ( kaapi)
This is the specialty coffee from south India.
It is made using a filter machine where they pour hot water to the ground coffee and make a decoction and it is added to hot milk and sugar, they pour it from one vessel to another a few times to make it frothy.
It is usually served in a brass glass along with a bowl.It’s very addictive.
Here is a Short video of filter coffee it’s from another place.
After that I tried a few more places around and made a map list to put up some amazing restaurants nearby who purely serve south Indian dishes.
I will keep adding more places as I explore them
