Chettinad is a type of aromatic and flavourful curry which belongs to Tamilnadu cuisine. Aromatic and flavourful spice mix is prepared by roasting whole spices and fresh coconut. Use of coconut milk and aroma of roasted spices make this curry delicious. Usually Chettinad curry is prepared using chicken but it can be even prepared by using mushrooms and mix vegetables. This curry can be served with plain dosa and rice. It tastes equally delicious with paratha as well.
