COMBO EVENT ROUND UP –Part I

I feel elated making the  round up of my first event, which I had announced to celebrate my 100th post. Thank you friends for making my first event successful and sending so many tasty and interesting combos. We have a large variety of combos to try from a large number of states of India and International cuisines too. Over all I have received around 80 entries as I still type this post!!!
For convenience I am dividing the combos on the basis of Cuisine so that it’s easy to choose when we want to  try out something new.
INDIAN CUISINE is a very diverse, with a vast range of preparations from North- South. I am starting off from the southern tip of India and will head North. In some cases the cuisine is generalised so that will be posted separately with the International cuisine. In this Post we can read Combos from South India and from West to East India.
