What is Chettinad Cuisine?

Chettinad cuisine, may I dare say, is the most popular cuisine in the Tamil Nadu region. The chettinad cuisine calls for freshly grounded spices and masalas. It has it’s own unique blend to it. It is generally made with the locally sourced spices in the South India.

How to enjoy chettinad cuisine?

If you want to relish the chettinad cuisine in it’s most traditional way, try procuring the beautiful utensils that are used to prepare the food. You will find them in traditional or ethnic stores where they have found much value today.

And the best way to enjoy the chettinad cuisine would be to serve the food in a banana leaf.

It is very easy to make this chettinad mutton masala recipe. All we have to do is simply marinate the mutton for about 2 hours with basic spices.

Then we will fry the onions before adding the marinated mutton and fry till it is brown. Later we add the tomatoes and water. I have cooked it in the pan but if you want to save time, you can always use the pressure cooker.

But cooking without the pressure cooker has its own taste. There is a very noticeable difference when we cook in a pan. Better still, if you have earthen ware, all the more better.

I am trying to change all my pans to earthen ware. Having cooked in non stick and pressure cooked for so long it will take a long time to change the habits. But whenever I can I do try to use it.
