Next Culinary Stop: (Almost) ChettinadFood sounds exotic when you have masala like tamarind, fennel seed, cinnamon, peppercorn, fenugreek, clove, bay leaf, star aniseed in your dish. And that exotic food is Chettinad cuisine when it’s freshly ground and aromatic. Karaikudi restaurant offers Chettinad cuisine which is historically famous for sun-dried meats, salted vegetables and rice-based dishes. Traditionally vegetarians, the Chettinad people of South India had non-vegetarian influences from Malabar coast and savoury recipes from as far as the Kingdom of Burma. The fine dining setting mimics the royal mansions of Chettinad with their heritage rosewood pillars and bamboo lattices. The aura settles in when you browse through their Kothu Roti and Biryani dishes. The restaurant doesn’t offer authentic Chettinad cuisine to be honest. Chicken Kothu Roti was less on cumin and curry powder. Masala Tea wasn’t brewed well so did not give the punch you need while digging into the spices of India. However Egg Biryani had flavours of minced chilli and ginger garlic.You can find traces of Northern India and China as their menu offers Chilli Gobi Dry (cauliflower florets fried with Indian Chinese spices), Channa Masala (Chickpeas’ gravy) and Noodles. Marketing-wise they are smart as they have Mutton Vindaloo amongst others to attract those alien in Indian cuisine. Rice pudding, an influence from Burma in Chettinad cuisine could not be found on the menu. The serving took so much time that we had it packed to-go. Overall the spices don’t make you bloated and good if you are craving for an Indian meal. – SID
