Chettinad is a region of Southern India whose cuisine is abundant with the freshest flavours and spices, all blended together to make the most delicious curries. The ‘Chettiar’ people from this region were historically mercantile traders in salt and spice and, therefore, travelled far and wide. During their travels they came across new spices and ingredients from across Asia, which influenced the cuisine in the area.
Spices such as cassia or cinnamon, chillies, bay leaf and black pepper add a heavenly layer of aromatics to the curries of this region. Our Southern Chettinad Curry opens up a delicious portal into the magic of Chettinad cuisine and will take your taste buds on a journey across time and spice. The sauce is tomato-based with a touch of coconut and a little heat from black pepper, as well as the sweetness of star anise, cinnamon and fennel seeds.
3 SIMPLE STEPS | READY IN 10 MINS
Preparation: cut your chicken, fish, meat or vegetables into generous pieces.
If you don't like whole spices, powder these in a pestle and mortar and add them in at the end of step 3. Alternatively, if left whole, remove them with a spoon before serving.
- Heat 1 tsp oil in a small non-stick pan, add spices and cook for 20 seconds.
- Add the fresh ingredients and brown gently before adding the base sauce. Bring to a boil.
- Stir in the main sauce and fish/seafood (if using) and simmer for 3-8 minutes or until the main ingredients are cooked through.
Serve with naans, rice or parathas.
