Chettinad Fish Curry is a prized dish from the coastal areas of Tamil Nadu's Chettinad region,
where seafood preparation has been refined over centuries. At Deepam Chettinad and Indian Grill,
we honor this tradition by using fresh fish and authentic spice blends that capture the essence
of coastal Chettinad cooking. The curry begins with a base of sautéed onions, tomatoes, ginger,
garlic, and fresh curry leaves, which are cooked until they release their aromatic oils.
The signature Chettinad masala paste is prepared by grinding fresh coconut with roasted fennel
seeds, peppercorns, cumin, coriander, and other aromatic spices. This paste is added to the curry
base along with tamarind for tanginess, creating a gravy that's rich, complex, and perfectly
balanced. Fresh fish pieces are gently simmered in this flavorful gravy until they're cooked
through but still tender, absorbing all the aromatic spices while maintaining their delicate
texture. The curry is finished with fresh curry leaves and a tempering of mustard seeds, resulting
in a dish that's deeply satisfying when served with steamed rice, dosa, or parotta.
