About Chettinad Kitchen - The real taste of Chettinad in , Kochi

The word Chettinad has become synonymous with Chettinad Chicken. However, Chettinad is a region in southern TamilNadu, the home to Nattukottai Chettiars. This region is famous for its massive houses, saris, athangudi tiles, temples, and of course the cuisine.

There is more to Chettinad cuisine than the famous Chettinad Chicken. Chettinad cuisine uses a variety of aromatic spices. The secret to the mouth watering taste is the use of freshly ground spices. The region of Chettinad is dry and hot and perhaps this has a major influence on the cuisine. The Chettiars are believed to have come from the coastal region of Poompuhar and so their cuisine includes great sea food dishes. Chettinad cuisine is also believed to be influenced by Burmese cuisine.

Chettinad cuisine offers a variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Some unique vegetarian dishes include vellai paniyaram accompanied with spicy chutney, kuzhi paniyaram - both sweet and savoury, kozhakattai, kavuni arisi, murukku, cheedai, and athirasam. The non-vegetarian dishes include chicken, mutton, quail, and sea food.

Chettinad Kitchen brings to Cochin, the authentic food from the region of Chettinad.
