Dine in Chettinad style

The Galadari Hotel Flavors Restaurant is gearing up to introduce a food promotion themed the 'Chettinad Food Promotion' from January 20 to the 28 giving guests an ultimate dining experience.

The Chettinad promotion brings the very best of South Indian (Tamil Nadu) cuisine belonging to that of the Chettiah community. The food promotion includes the use of traditional Chettiah kitchen utensils in the preparation process and the highlight of the promotion will include interesting live action stations including kottu-paratta, meter coffee and veechu parotta.

Whilst the stage will be set to bring back the old traditional charms of the Chettiah community and its cuisines, guests will all be treated to a complimentary 'Ice Moor' drink which is a famous yoghurt based drink and the perfect start before encountering the rich and wondrous flavours of the Chettinad menu.

Guests will get to indulge in the very best of a-la-carte menus.

Originally Chettinad cuisine was derived from vegetarian dishes but later evolved with the spread of trade and business in the Chettiah community and embraced other international cultures and cuisines especially that of Malaysian and Singaporean influences.

Therefore, Chettinad cuisines now include non-vegetarian choices as well.

These range from a wide choice of non-vegetarian dishes such as baby shark, mutton, seafood, quail and chicken.

One of the very special secret ingredients used in Chettinad food is the herb 'Kalpasi' which is quite similar in comparison to that of the Truffle Mushroom. Kalpasi is rich in flavour and adds that much needed zest to the dishes.
