At the foundation of this pyramid lies a beloved combination of idli and chutney, a soft, fluffy, and light steamed rice cake. It serves as a nutritious base for the day and pairs well with various chutneys like coconut, tomato, or mint, setting the tone for the subsequent layers.
The next level introduces Dosa, a crispy crepe made from fermented rice and lentil batter. It’s accompanied by chutney and a spicy powder mix, adding a satisfying layer to the meal. The contrast between the two flavours is impressive.
As we ascend, we encounter a psychologically satisfying combination of idli, vada, and sambar. Vada, a deep-fried lentil doughnut, complements the soft idli, while sambar, a spicy lentil soup, is a comforting experience. The hearty flavours and textures create a sense of satisfaction and well-being.
The pyramid of South Indian culture centres around coffee, a cornerstone that complements the spicy and savoury flavours of the previous layers. A well-brewed filter coffee provides a perfect interlude, offering relaxation and contemplation, and enhancing the overall breakfast experience.
