South India has given a lot of things to the world. A truckload of engineers is the first thing that comes to mind, apart from compensating for the literacy rate of UP and Bihar. Also, a couple of languages and beaches and holy sites. But in my opinion, the greatest gift from South India to the world is breakfast food.
There is so much variety - Dosa, Idli, Vada, Appam, sambhar, chutney, etc, etc, etc. But with a lot of options comes the responsibility to choose. Choosing Masala Dosa meant, not choosing Idly and Vada and vice versa. A part of me died every time I had to make this tough choice. And I used to go through this Chooser's Remorse (similar to buyer's remorse but caused by what you could not buy) every single time until I discovered a unique offering called the Mini Tiffin.
The opportunity to eat Idly, Vada, Masala Dosa, Pongal and Sweets in one single breakfast felt like Thanksgiving and Christmas rolled together with the 4th of July. I will not hesitate to proclaim that mini tiffin is South India's greatest gift to mankind.
