 Chettinaad
cuisine reflects the lifestyle
of the
people
from
Chettinaad
situated
in
the
South-East of Tamil Nadu
state,
India.
Essentially vegetarians,
the people of Chettinaad imbibed a taste for non-
vegetarian food from
their travels to South
East Asia
and these influences are visible.
The Chettinad style of preparing chicken,
meat and
sea food have become
immensely popular.
The taste of the
ingredients is not swamped by spices
and it is
 ideally not "hot".
Locally available
rich
spices
such as coriander, cumin, pepper, fenugreek, anise
and sweet stick are ground and added
judiciously to make each dish a gourmet's treat.
At Chettinaad
Palace we have tried to bring to the people of Plano /Dallas, TX the
inherited tradition and authentic tastes of the
Chettinaad and hope that you enjoy the specially
prepared cuisine.
