Our kitchen

Recipes from a Kanadukathan kitchen, now in Thillai Nagar.

Our head cook, Meenakshi, grew up in a Chettiar house in Kanadukathan, where a feast meant twenty dishes and a week of preparation. She pounds the masala in a stone ural every morning and still does not trust a mixer with pepper.

Sample reviews, written for this demo. Real customer reviews replace them on your store.

The mutton chukka is exactly what we ate at weddings in Karaikudi. Pepper first, then everything else.

The crab masala took 25 minutes and was worth every one. They even cracked the claws.

Questions

Before you order

Answers to what customers ask us most. More on the questions page.

How spicy is the food?

Medium-hot by default; Chettinad food is peppery. Ask for mild on any dish and we reduce the chilli and pepper without changing the masala.

Do you have vegetarian dishes?

Yes. Banana leaf veg meals, parotta with veg salna, mushroom pepper fry, ennai kathirikkai and paniyaram are always on the menu.

Is the chicken country chicken?

Our nattu kozhi curry uses country chicken from farms near Pudukkottai. Chicken 65 and biryani use farm chicken, and the menu says which is which.

Do you deliver?

Across Tiruchirappalli, including Srirangam, KK Nagar and Cantonment, in 35 to 45 minutes. Free delivery above ₹500.
