The South Indian food usually starts with rice serving with paruppu and ghee. On some festive days, we have at least two such main courses with one sambar in which these are many variety such as puli sambhar, vatha sambhar and curry sambhar.
Following this we have Rasam. At the last, we must have a mixture of curd with rice, this is usually taken with different pickles such as mango pickle, pundu pickle… etc.
This meal is accompanied with many side dishes like kootu, kari, poriyal, pickles, papadsfall…. etc. The final dish serve to be sweet such as payasam and kesari.
