Introduction Chettiars, the menfolk of Chettinad Community, have settled in Singapore from a very historical period, but chettinad womenfolk who are generally referred to as Achis, were still in India. Over a period of time, gradually Achis started coming to Singapore with Chettiars and settle here. Now the Chettiar population has tremendously gone up and their recipes have become very popular world-wide. So I would like to present some of the authentic Chettinad recipes which are very healthy, along with other ever popular recipes and few other interesting topics, with Singapore touch... Please feel free to give your feedback and share your recipes and ideas with me. Let's have learning Journey together..
Interests As a mother, I always give in to my kids' demands and try many new recipes. Yet, I cook a lot of traditional Chettinad recipes, which all of us enjoy. Both my mother and mother- in-law are great cooks. My mother cooks simple recipes which are very easy to follow with selected few ingredients, yet very tasty. On the other hand my m-i-l's recipes are detailed and very creative. She always has instant rescue ideas when any recipe turns into a flop. Whenever possible I try to get traditional recipes from Achis. Invariably all Achis have numerous recipes and tips to offer. I also share and exchange recipes with my friends who never cease to amaze me and I visit plenty of recipe blogs to learn more. I thank all of them for their invaluable ideas which have shaped me into a kind of cook I am today.
