Taste of Chettinad in Bangalore
If you have one of those lucky tongues which has tasted the yummy Chettinad-style food and are longing for it during your stay in Bangalore, this is the place to go!
Ponnuswamy.
How to get there: 80 ft road, Kormangala.
Before getting in: I recommend getting yourself a couple of beers at “The Legends of Rock” bang opposite to Ponnuswamy. Good music @ TLoR will set the mood too.
When there: Don’t miss Kaadai and Chicken (any flavor) for sure. If you are more adventurous I would recommend rabbit roast or pigeon roast. Eat all this along with Muttai Dosai, Piping hot Idlis or Idiyappam. I generally avoid eating rice items as you kinda feel filled up too much, after a drink. But “Country Chicken Biryani” is a good bet ;-)
After coming out: There is a pan shop just outside the restaurant. Relish a sweet pan there!
Next day: Post your comment on this blog!
Kanth,
Man….I’m getting hungry just reading the post!
:)
i’ve passed by this place but never somehow been there! somehow it never comes to mind when thinking of places to go. thanks for reviving my interest in it, kanth! yummy :)
Kanth … yo! This is the place you gotta be if you wanna taste Chettinad! I am a veggie and it can be quite tough for a veggie to appreciate Chettinad cuisine because the dominant part of Chettinad’s best are on the non-veg side. But this place, even the veggie Chettinad stuff is awesome…
Thanks, nice post!
