Twin Oaks USA LLC is proud to present the legendary Chettinad Cuisine of Nattukottai Chettiars at the Anjappar Chettinad Cuisine in North Brunswick, NJ. Chettinad, a region in South India, is situated in Tamil Nadu state located 20 miles to the west of the coastal line of Bay of Bengal. Historical records show that the people of Chettinad were persuaded and encouraged by the King of 13th century Pandyan dynasty to settle down in a region which later became known as Chettinad.

The Chettinad cuisine is reflective of the lifestyle of the Nattukottai Chettiars. This cuisine specializes in non-vegetarian food with richly ground spices topped with a boiled egg, an essential part of every dish. Chettinad cuisine also offers sun dried and salted vegetables, which use every seed, fruit and legume that can be conceived of. The basic dishes are essentially South Indian such as dosais, parotas and idiappams.

Chefs imported from Karaikudi, one of the towns in Chettinad, do not rely on readymade ingredients for their curries. Instead, they grind and blend the ingredients everyday, thus bringing out delicious flavor and exceptional taste.

Chettinad cuisine consists a variety of unique dishes, including about 7 different types of dosais, Indian breads and the famous biriyanis.
