While traveling through India last year, I became a huge fan of the food, particularly in the south. I am a bit of a fussy eater, so one would have never guessed that I would even find the food palatable, but I found the food to be seasoned perfectly with just the right amount of spices.

One thing is for sure and that is no one could ever accuse their food of being bland. Along my travels, I acquired quite a few South Indian recipes that I could try for myself when I got home. I tried several and, though I could not get them to taste exactly the same as what I tried while there, they all turned out fairly well.

I guess it could not have been all bad because I have had more than one friend ask me to share some of my South India recipes with them. One friend even invited me over and much to my chagrin, hers tasted way better than mine had. It was quite a treat and I can’t wait to go back for the authentic thing again.
