South Indian Pairings – Spices Meet Spirits

South India and Sri Lanka share deep culinary roots — coconut, curry leaves, tamarind, and heat! These classic South Indian dishes are perfect companions to our toddy.

With Coconut Toddy

Kerala Meen Pollichathu (Fish in Banana Leaf)
Why it works: This smoky, tamarind-marinated fish dish wrapped in banana leaf pairs beautifully with the mild fizz of coconut toddy, bringing out earthy, coastal notes.

Avial (Mixed Vegetable Coconut Curry)

Why it works: A creamy, coconut-rich dish with gentle spice — it complements the sweetness and light acidity of toddy perfectly.

Podi Idli & Toddy

Why it works: Spicy, dry masala podi coats mini idlis, which are crispy and salty — ideal with a refreshing toddy to cool the heat.

Tips for South Indian Pairings

Coconut toddy works well with milder, coconut-based or tangy dishes (like Kerala and Udupi cuisine).

Serve with traditional sides: appam, parotta, dosa, or just a handful of roasted peanuts or banana chips.
