History
A few things to consider when understanding the differences among the cuisines from different corners of India are the scale of the country itself, the various climatic and geological zones, regional culture and lifestyle and also foreign influence to some extent.
South India is comprised of 4 states, namely Kerala which is famous for its backwaters and virgin landscapes, Karnataka which is famous for its surge in Information Technology, remember Bangalore? Tamil Nadu which is famous for its ancient Hindu and Dravidian temples and finally Andhra Pradesh which is famous for its rice and paddy fields feeding rice to the whole of the Sub-Continent of India almost on its own.
