You haven't snacked in Chennai until you've popped some paniyarams! These fluffy rounds of fermented-rice batter are sometimes subtly sweet or temptingly spiced. Best enjoyed hot from a sizzling pan and accompanied by coconut chutney or sambar.
It's chop, chop, chop time! Kothu Parotta is the king of street eats: a medley of minced parotta, egg, meat, and salna, all rhythmically beaten on a hot griddle to a symphony of flavors. The rapid clanking of metal spatulas is your siren call!
Get your chill on with kulfi, India's own frosty sin. Velvety, creamy, and nutty with an aromatic punch—it's the ice-cold dessert to beat the Chennai heat. From classic flavours to off-beat concoctions, each bite is an icy revelation!
Get lost in the tastes of this rich, sweet bowl of goodness. Sweet Pongal, a luscious dish made of rice cooked with jaggery, ghee and topped with cashews and raisins, is tradish comfort food that'll sweeten your soul.
