Chicken Chettinad

This iconic preparation originated in the kitchen of the Chettiar community, a wealthy community of traders and financiers who were traditionally vegetarians. They used fresh spices lavishly – the warmth of black peppercorns, the fragrance of curry leaves, and the earthiness of fennel seeds. They also prefer using sun-dried vegetables and meat to help maintain nutritional value. The rich flavour of Chicken Chettinad is a mastery of spice blending, blending tradition with innovation. Enjoy the hot flavours with a hint of coconut and tender chicken as you recreate the heart of South India in your home. Pair it with rice, dosa, or appam – or roti or naan for a North-South meeting point.
