Tastes Of TamilNadu

It had been ages since I enjoyed a Chettinadu feast: That truly wowed me and delighted my taste buds with every dish. Chettinad Stories in Chennai completely exceeded my expectations from start to finish. While I typically avoid fusion food, the fusion delights here won me over. The chef struck the perfect balance, staying true to authentic Chettinadu recipes while adding innovative twists to each dish. CRAB RASAM: The Crab Rasam served in martini glasses was a standout—a killer crab soup like none I’ve had in recent times. Unlike the overly spicy and peppery rasams often found in Chettinadu cuisine, this version was subtle yet packed a flavorful punch, with tiny chunks of crab meat that took it to another level. Another highlight was the Mini Idli stuffed with Vadumanga (tender mango) pickle. Coated with podi, these mini idlis offered a tangy, astringent burst of flavor from the Vadumanga with every bite. Paired with Thakkali Thokku (tomato chutney), this dish was a treat for the pal...

One Liner, i loved it totally! A fantastic satisfying Sunday lunch at Thahira Hotel, Kanchipuram! Being a Sunday, and Pongal festival round the corner, the town was just chaotic! Traffic all over. We struggled to drive, forget parking! A huge crowd waiting to be seated. Biryani parcelled in Mandaral Ilai was disappearing at lightning speed! Amidst all this chaos, we patiently waited to be seated on the first floor. We got a table in about 15 minutes. Quickly ordered all that was given as choices: Chicken Biryani x4 Mutton Fry Chicken Fry Paaya Fry Kuska Biryani was served piping hot! Took a while to even touch it! Chicken pieces in it were super soft and well cooked. Long-grained Basmati Rice, not too spicy, just the right flavour. Reminded me a bit of Charminar Biryani, Royapettah! The gravy served as accompaniment was super tasty! Poured it over the hard boiled egg, it was yumm! Onion Raita was good too, and they were generous with both these items. Chicken Fry was ...

Welcome, to yet another Food review in Tastes of TamilNadu. Woah! Such a authentic delicious food, so good to write about, Hotel Mangalam in Krishnagiri.. When you are in Krishnagiri or travelling near by and you need to consider eating in an authentic place, you need to try in Hotel Mangalam! They provide irresistible tasty foods. They are most famous for their Seeraga Samba Briyani which is prepared in Ambur Briyani Style. Briyani is soaked with so much meat flavours and ghee. All the parottas were freshly served. The place is small to look at but when you go inside, you can see almost 100 people sitting in.. they expanded the hotel room by room and we got a chance to sit AC room, which was very refreshing to have food at. Sundays or weekends are jam packed. We went by 3 pm still it was rush hour.  Here are the foods we tasted: *Mutton Briyani Very soft meat pieces with very mild masalas blended, which the Kids also tastes is truly appreciable. A...
