New Delhi, June 04, 2022: Chettinadu Street Food Festival Region-wise culinary delights from this part of the world are from the simple Chettinadu specials like Madurai street Idly with Meen Kozhambu, parotta and chicken sherva to all-time favourites like Kola Urandai Kozhambu and Kari dosa. Each dish with its own unique identity. Chettinadu is also famous for its unique Badam Halwa, Javvarisi Payasam and Kungamapoo Rava Kesari. Karaikudi is usually associated with ‘Chettinadu’ or ‘Karaikudi’ cuisine although the term ‘Chettinadu’ is widely used nowadays to refer to non-vegetarian delicacies in spite of the fact that actual Chettinadu cuisine is predominantly vegetarian. The spicy flavours and a variety of veg/non-vegetarian dishes are bound to excite even the folks who don’t like hot food.
Geographically, Chettinadu is part of the districts of Sivaganga and Pudukkottai in Tamil Nadu, spread over some 1,500-odd kilometres of arid scrubland. Today, the region is known for its cotton saris, heritage hotels, and antique markets. But before India became independent, and even before the British colonised our ports, spices, and princely states, Chettinadu was part of the ancient Tamil Pandyan Kingdom and the capital was Madurai.
