Chettinadu Gobi

Thursday, June 3, 2010
Its been busy! Work, home, play ....everything is keeping me very happily occupied. And lil N is growing so fast. He is 10 months old already. He has started crawling and does so many cute things that I am almost thinking of converting this into a baby blog. Atleast, will have lots of pictures to show for it :). So indulge me dear readers if I do chat about my boy now and then. Oh and he just got his two front teeth! Can't wait to make cookies for him!


Without any further ramblings, I am going to jump to the dish. I have always been a big fan of Chettinadu cuisine.  Though I never ate much Chettinadu dishes growing up, they have a nice niche in my heart (or is it tummy?) due to their rich use of spices and vibrant colors. Chettinadu is known for its chicken dishes and here I attempted to replicate one of them using cauliflower. It is a perfect side dish for rice or roti. The dish is adapted from Solai's True Chettinadu Kitchen.
As I followed the recipe to the tee, I am not going to post it here. I marinated cauliflower florets instead of the chicken. You could deep fry the cauliflower to make it more sinful yummier. Do not sober the dish down using less chillies as it will not be chettinadu then! The dish tasted great and will be something that will be cooked in my kitchen often.
