South Indian meals are comforting. Don't you agree? The dishes are packed with a variety of flavours and are usually light on the stomach. Generally, the cuisine includes various preparations of rice, lentils, vegetables, and traditional spices, combined with tamarind and sometimes, even coconut for that much-needed crunch and boost of flavours. Even celebrities like Anushka Sharma have a soft corner for South Indian food. Do you also share the same liking? Well, we don't know about you but Malaika Arora definitely is yet another big fan of South Indian food. Her various posts on social media stand as testimony to this statement. Staying loyal to her love for the cuisine, Malaika tried her hands on a drool-worthy South Indian meal, recently.

To keep her Instafam updated, Malaika shared a glimpse of her indulgence on Instagram Stories. What's there? A bowlful of thayir sadam, which resembles curd rice, perfectly tempered with mustard seeds. She served the curd rice on her platter. Malaika paired it with a heavenly sambar cooked with lentils, spices, carrots, curry leaves, and red chillies. What's more? For a crunchy twist, we could see wafers (chips) and pieces of murukku. To enhance the taste of the meal, Malaika also opted for a mouth-watering blob of pickle from the jar kept close to her plate. The actress expressed, “Meals that nourish the soul.” Here is the photo she posted:
