Chettinad cuisine is the most aromatic and spicy
cuisine which is made of freshly ground masalas. The dishes are really spicy
and spicy lovers like me will love this cuisine for sure. Heard that the Non vegetarian recipes are very famous in chettinad cuisines. Tried this fish curry yesterday for our dinner and this is my first try in chettinad cuisine.. Very
delicious and flavorful. The aroma of freshly ground masala made us so tempting
and mouthwatering. Served this curry with hot rice and Fish fry. Normally fish
curry used to taste more delicious and yummy on the next day… And that to
particularly with the hot steaming Idlis J So now you have
guessed what we had this morning ;)
Adapted this recipe from Tasty Appetite. While
