Our Chicken Chettinad is a fiery South Indian classic from the Chettinad region, made authentically at Southern Spices in Winnipeg. Chicken is simmered in a peppery, roasted-spice gravy of freshly ground masala, curry leaves and black pepper for a bold, aromatic curry that seasoned spice lovers adore.
Chicken Chettinad is one of South India's most famous curries, and Southern Spices makes it the traditional way. We dry-roast whole spices and grind them fresh, then simmer chicken in this robust, peppery masala with curry leaves and coconut for a curry that is intensely aromatic and full of heat.
Bold, layered and unmistakably authentic, this is a dish for anyone who loves real South Indian spice. Serve it with rice, dosa or parotta. Available for dine-in on St Mary's Rd, and takeout and delivery across St. Vital and Windsor Park.
Whole spices dry-roasted and ground in house for maximum aroma.
