Chettinad cuisine
Dakshin the specialty restaurant at ITC Windsor presents “Rajupacharam”, Tamilian food recipes culled from the age old Pachakashalams which were recorded over a century ago.
The recipes used at the Dakshin endeavour to be as close to the original in not just the ingredients but also the method of cooking.
Tamilian cookery has always had its own distinctive tradition, but to most non-Tamilians, only the ubiquitous dosa, idlis, sambars and chutneys, are known. An off shoot of the regular Tamil cuisine, the Chettinad cuisine hails from the deep southern region of Tamil Nadu. Chettinad cuisine is one of the spiciest, oiliest and most aromatic in India.
Chettiars are well known for their delicious vegetarian preparations, their repertoire of food items is famous and includes all manner of fish and fowl and meats, as well as delicate noodle-like dishes and carefully preserved sun-dried legumes and berries that the Chettiar ladies make into curries.
Oil and spices are liberally used in cooking and most dishes have generous amounts of peppercorn, cinnamon, bay leaves, cardamom, nutmeg, green and red chilies. You can get a taste of antiquity till 26th August at Dakshin.

Onam feast

Jamavar at Leela Palace proudly present a feast for Onam. Upperies, Papadums, Upilittathu, Chammanthi, Payasams and Prathamans, Onam beckons a double dip in nostalgia as Keralites all over the globe recreate something to savors in their kitchens. Onam is a vegan treat that must not be missed.
The Onam Sadhya must be started and devoured in terms of courses. While a host of papadums and little savoury knick knacks help you to start, the first course consists of a dal that is cooked with grated coconut. Once the dal is over, have a spoonful of rice with Olan and Theeyal and Avviyal. Essentially accompanied with the crumble of the papadums, a small morsel of steamed rice with a teaspoon of ghee sets off the gastronomic venture that is intrinsically Gandhian in principle for its vegetarianism. For the dessert, the Adhapradhaman is a must-have.
The chefs at Jamavar have designed a beautiful Onasadya in a silver thali lined with a banana leaf dolling out an authentic medley on August 27 for lunch.
