Chettinadu chicken is a flavorful and spicy dish originating from the Chettinad region of Tamil Nadu, India. This curry features tender chicken pieces cooked in a richly spiced, aromatic gravy made with a blend of ingredients such as black pepper, fennel seeds, cinnamon, cloves, and dried red chilies. The curry base includes sautéed onions, tomatoes, and garlic, creating a robust and savory sauce. Coconut is often used to add a creamy texture and enhance the flavor. Chettinadu chicken is known for its bold, complex flavors and pairs perfectly with rice or traditional Indian breads like naan or paratha.
