About TheSouthIndianStore.com
The South Indian Store is an online portal where one can get authentic and fresh South Indian snacks prepared using 100% pure ingredients. The lack of availability and uneasy access to South Indian snacks in other parts of the country gave birth to this idea of serving people who wants to taste something different than the usual, something made using pure coconut oil and something one must have tasted before but now is deprived of it because of unavailability.
