'Meals'

The traditional south Indian lunch is called ‘meals’ and is basically all you can eat. It comes on a banana leaf and consists of a heaping bowl of rice, three vegetable dishes (that change daily), four sauces for your rice (usually a thick vegetable one, a soupy one, a spicy one and a milky one), kurd and a crunch patty. They will keep scooping more of each dish until you tell them to stop, it’s great, really fills you up and it’s only 35 Rupees, or 70 cents USD!

The three vegetable dishes, the little cup of kurd and the rice and vegetable sauce. You mix up the sauce with the rice till the rice isn't white anymore but I couldn't take a pic after I did this cause my hand got all sacuey and ricey.

The three other kinds of sauce- spicy on the left, kurd on the right and soup on the top.
