Chettinad cuisine is known for its unique flavor. It is spicy, flavorful and aromatic. Chettinad Non vegetarian dishes are very famous. Last weekend, I made Vanjaram Fish Fry in Chettinad Style. My DH tasted and was totally impressed. It was very delicious and we wanted for more. I used Vanjaram fish (also known as seer fish), you can use any variety of fish like Sheela Fish and use the same masala.
