Uttapam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/indianonly.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Uttapam.jpg\" alt=\"Food of Tamil Nadu\" class=\"wp-image-2128\" width=\"346\" height=\"259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indianonly.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Uttapam.jpg 612w, https:\/\/indianonly.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Uttapam-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 346px) 100vw, 346px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Uttapam is a dish very similar to the\u00a0dosa. And, it is a speciality of\u00a0Tamil Nadu food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They use Urad Dal and rice powder together to make this dish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then ferment it for a few hours and then fry it slowly over very minimal oil over a skillet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, Uttapam is flat and crispy at the sides just like dosa but soft and doughy\u00a0in the middle like an Idli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>2. Rasam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/indianonly.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Rasam.jpg\" alt=\"Food of Tamil Nadu\" class=\"wp-image-2127\" width=\"249\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indianonly.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Rasam.jpg 408w, https:\/\/indianonly.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Rasam-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 249px) 100vw, 249px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Rasam is my personal\u00a0favourite! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, tamarind forms the base of this soup-like dish. And, then we add tomatoes, pepper and\u00a0cumin seed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rasam is almost a pre-meal appetizer, which is light and doesn&#8217;t fill you up too much before a meal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rasam is a famous dish. It pours over the rice like a normal curry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, you can also drink it as you would a soup. It is good for a sore throat too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>3. Dosa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/indianonly.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/dosa.jpg\" alt=\"Food of Tamil Nadu\" class=\"wp-image-2126\" width=\"389\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indianonly.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/dosa.jpg 612w, https:\/\/indianonly.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/dosa-300x196.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 389px) 100vw, 389px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are so many types of Dosas. There are a few famous kinds of dosa which are available all over the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dosa is famous preparation in Tamil Nadu. We cook it mildly like an omelette where the mixture is spread over a pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, we serve it with Sambar and Coconut Chutney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>4. Murukku<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/indianonly.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Murukku.jpg\" alt=\"Murukku\" class=\"wp-image-2125\" width=\"403\" height=\"268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indianonly.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Murukku.jpg 612w, https:\/\/indianonly.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Murukku-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 403px) 100vw, 403px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To begin with, these crispy savoury snacks are perfect for tea time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, Murukku means \u2018twisted\u2019 in Tamil and refers to the spiral, twisted shape of the item. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We make it with a combination of rice flour and urad dal flour mixed with water, salt, red chilli powder, asafoetida and either sesame seeds or cumin seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, it is loved by people all over India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>5. Idli and Vada<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/indianonly.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Idli-and-Vada.jpg\" alt=\"Idli and Vada\" class=\"wp-image-2124\" width=\"326\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indianonly.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Idli-and-Vada.jpg 612w, https:\/\/indianonly.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Idli-and-Vada-300x275.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 326px) 100vw, 326px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, Idli and Vada, collectively save breakfasts for people who are late in the mornings, almost every time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These Tamil Nadu food items complement each other beautifully and are total comfort foods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, Idli is a mixture of urad dal and rice. And, it looks like a small, spongy pancake once cooked. It is one of the signature dishes of Tamil Nadu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Vada is either doughnut-shaped or round like idli. And, we prepare it with fermented Bengal gram mixed with curry leaf, cumin seed and mustard seed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, the versatility of Tamil cuisine reflects an incredible meeting of cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we have seen which are the best dishes\/ food of Tamil Nadu that you must try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here, we list down some of the mouth watering food of Tamil Nadu that you must try.
