When you think about South Indian food, what comes to your mind? A typical South Indian breakfast with idlis, dosas, vada etc., rice, curd vegetables and pickles are some of the staples of this cuisine. But there are also some South Indian snacks that are less known by people outside this part of India. These snacks are loved by the people living here and people who try them for the first time can’t stop coming back for more. Here is a list of our top 5 South Indian snacks that you should try when you plan your trip for the first time to this part of India.

There are so many snacks to try when you are in South India. The food culture here is amazing. I am naming the Top Five South Indian Snacks which will blow your mind.

Iruttu Kadai Halwa:

In India, every region has its own special sweet. This brown-coloured halwa comes from Tamil Nadu, in the south of India. It is made by reducing milk and sugar to a caramel paste, then cooking it with Wheat flour, butter or ghee, cardamom and pistachio. A street vendor prepares this dish in a Kadai or a metal pan over blazing heat. Let it cool, cut into slices and enjoy the delicious Iruttu Kadai Halwa! Indian desserts are known for their richness. This dessert is loved by Indians all over the world and is specially made on special occasions and festivals.

Adirasam:

Adhirasam is a popular variety of Indian sweet, originating from Tamil cuisine. This fried doughnut-like pastry also has its roots in Tamil civilization, where it was originally served to Brahmin priests during religious festivals. It remains a popular snack in Tamil Nadu, particularly offered as prasadam (blessed offering) in Hindu temples during festivals more than just a sweet, Adhirasam is a rich vibrant tradition passed down from generation to generation. The doughnut-like pastry has a rich history spanning back thousands of years and is considered an auspicious offering in Indian temples.

Thaen Mittai:

The Thaen Mittai might be considered as the most favourite childhood candy. At some point, with the introduction of new variants, Thaen Mittai lost its place for the current generation of kids. We are glad to bring this tasty sweet back. It is made in a traditional way without any artificial colouring which makes it unique and tasty. Thaen Mittai is a great sweet candy to remember your childhood or to get your kids introduced you to the traditional taste.

Kai Murukku:

Murukku is a very famous South Indian savoury, the most popular being Kai Murukku. The aroma of this when it takes a dip in hot oil would announce the arrival of festival/function to everyone in the vicinity. Given the crunchiness of the output, it is likely that the entire box will be depleted within a number of days. This can be packed as gift box and sent across as a healthy treat to your loved ones on any occasion.

Paalkova:

In the town of Srivilliputhur in Tamil Nadu, India, there are two things that are simply irresistible: the 10 centuries-old temples and the mouth-watering Palkova. Palkova is a delicious and nutritious confectionery made from milk. Having great milk nutrients and calcium, our palkova is a perfect dessert for adults and children alike!
