Traditionally
Tamilnadu recipes are mild and less spicy. Andhra recipes
are more spicy. Karnataka recipes are little sweet as they
use jaggery. Chettinad recipes are spicy and also sour as
they contain more tamarind. Keralites use coconut oil. Andhras
use refined groundnut oil, which give a special taste to their
recipes.
