Chettinad Pepper Chicken is a renowned spicy chicken dish from the Chettinad region of Tamil Nadu, where
black pepper has been used as a primary spice for centuries. At Deepam Chettinad and Indian Grill, we honor
this tradition by using quality chicken and authentic spice blends that highlight the bold, peppery essence
of Chettinad cooking. The dish begins with tender chicken pieces marinated in black pepper, turmeric, salt,
and ginger-garlic paste, then cooked with sautéed onions, tomatoes, and fresh curry leaves.
The signature Chettinad masala paste is prepared by grinding fresh coconut with roasted black peppercorns,
fennel seeds, cumin, coriander, and other aromatic whole spices. This rich, peppery paste is added to the
chicken along with additional black pepper for extra heat, creating a gravy that's bold, complex, and perfectly
balanced. The chicken is slow-cooked until it's tender and infused with all the aromatic spices, developing
rich, layered flavors with a distinctive peppery kick. 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.
