Real South Indian Food. Delivered Real Quick.
Biryani, Dosa, Uttapam. Idli, Thali, Vada and Sambar – if you know your Indian food as much as you love it, you’ll know that South Indian Cuisine is quite different from North Indian Cuisine. In the tropical South, rice and lentils are more common than naan and roti.
Seafood and vegetarian-based meals are more typical than chicken and lamb. Sauces tend to be thinner and use coconut milk. And diners probably open their eyes wider and grab their drinks faster because the dishes are usually spicier. Southern Indian food is an irresistible mix of the cooking styles and tastes of its five Southern states – Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka. Fortunately, you only have to go as far as a South Indian menu near you, via your Just Eat app.

Vegetable Biryani
Thinking South Indian? (Then think Just Eat app.) And certainly think Vegetable Biryani. It’s a great one-stop, single pot of what’s what – a vegetable curry and Colourful Spiced Rice crammed with authentic Indian flavours. Biryanis are often served with Chicken or Lamb, but there are many delicious Vegetarian versions, too. And, believe us, a Biryani is so much more than just rice and meat or veggies – surprisingly complex flavours arise from the slow-cooked combos of cinnamon sticks, star anise, cumin, cardamom and even a dash of coconut milk. Eat it with a Chapati Flatbread – and relish. You could also think about the savoury, doughnut-like Vada (they’re not Darth, but they’re very dense). These fried fritters are made from lentils and gram flour with a smattering of potato mash to give them their compactness. Eat as a (Street-Style) Snack with the sour-savour Sambar Sauce and lovely moist Coconut Chutney. (And they can be up your street in no time on a Just Eat delivery bike.)

Thali
A Thali is a staple South Indian Dish that’s like lots of little meals in one. It’s traditionally served as a Buffet on a Banana Leaf (but we prefer a Just Eat delivery bike). The idea is that your palate gets a Salty, Sweet & Sour hit in one delicious sitting. A central dish of rice is surrounded by smaller dishes of Curries, Chutneys, Chapati Flatbreads & Papadums. What more could you ask for? (Oh, yeah...Indian Pickles.) Dosa are thin, mildly-spiced pancakes made from ground rice and Urad Dal (aka Black Lentils) – it’s a bit nutty and a bit crispy and a lot delicious when you hit the crushed potato and masala spice mixture inside. Try it with Sambar, the sour-savoury sauce made of Tur Dal (aka Tropical Green Peas), tamarind and lots of veggies. Or with various tasty Chutneys made from ingredients like popped mustard seeds, ground coconut, chilli, mint, coriander, tur dal (and don’t forget the Just Eat delivery bike).
