Simple South Indian

Have had to divert from my "Flavours of" theme yet again, despite recently procuring a fascinating book on Caribbean food (which would have neatly followed Flavours of Arabia - January blog, and Flavours of Britain - February blog), because I haven't been able to test out the recipes as yet. However, I have been making a lot more South Indian Tamil food than usual, so thought I would share 5 relatively-easy recipes (South Indian food, as you may know, can be pretty complex and take considerable effort to prepare properly).....keep me posted on your progress.....
