It is said in south India that one is lucky to eat like a Chettiar. Enormously wealthy, this small community of traders, merchants and moneylenders’ engagement in trade with South East Asian countries like Ceylon, Malaysia, Indonesia and Burma made a significant impact on Chettiar cuisine, visible even today. Having once lived in proximity to the sea, the Chettiars used seafood to create many of their signature dishes such as meen kuzhambu (fish curry), nandu (crab) masala, sura puttu (shark fin curry), and eral (prawn) masala. From their inland homes in the hot and arid Tamil hinterland come recipes with jungle fowl, kada (quail), muyal (rabbit), and pitta (turkey).
Foreign ingredients and preservation techniques like sun-dried meats, berries, salted vegetables and pickles in brine have also enriched the culinary repertoire of this well-travelled community. IIC will be serving the special menu from 12th to 14th November 2021. These items shall be served in addition to the regular take away/dine in menu.
