Chettinad Curry

This is one of my favourite Indian curries! From the Chettinad region of Tamil Nadu, it has so many flavours and ingredients, no recipe can be truly authentic.

I first tried it in Kanniyakumari, then in Madurai and again in Thanjavore and Mahabalipuram… Every dish was slightly different. It's pungent, fragrant, spicy... the best mix.

Commercially sold, I think it's closest to the common place Madras Curry Powder commonly sold in shops.

Here's my take on it...

In the photo I forgot to add in black peppercorns, bay leaf and asafoetida...

Best served with Chicken? What do you think..?

I'll add recipe in the next post...
