Northern cuisine is heavily influenced by Arabs and Persians, while Southern food is influenced by Dravidians. Prominent ingredients. The North uses a lot of yogurt, onion, tomatoes and garlic. The south uses a lot of coconut, native fruits, curry leaves and coconut oils/milk.

Southern Indian cuisine incorporates spices and milk as well, but what distinguishes Southern cuisine from Northern is the preference for grain as a staple, the use of tamarind for its characteristic sour flavor and its sambar and rasam (thin, spicy broth).
