Indian Restaurant Oslo - Chettinad Vegetable Kuruma

Indian Restaurant Oslo - Chettinad Vegetable Kuruma

South Indian food is rich in nutrients and never compromises on taste as well. While the world is busy gobbling junk food which causes serious health issues over time, South Indian food culture makes them say, ‘Unave Marundhu’ meaning ‘Food is the Medicine’, true as it sounds. At The Chettinad – The Great Indian Restaurant Oslo, We have spectacular curries and irresistibly tasty appetizers and different flavors across different regions.

Chettinad is no exception in this and the very region is about 50 km west the Bay of Bengal, so there’s a fusion of dishes, including seafood besides the vegetarian and non-vegetarian accompaniments.

South Indian vegetarian dishes are ninety percent vegan as South-Indians do not use much of dairy products in their curries compared to North Indians. Talking of the curries, one best example for the luscious curries is the Chettinad Vegetable Kuruma, also known as, Chettinad Vellai kuruma or Navaratna Kuruma. The reason why the Vegetable kuruma is also known as Vellai Kuruma is because of the colour. The grounded coconut makes the curry white and it looks pale yellow if turmeric is added.

Chettinad Vegetable Kuruma is made with freshly ground coconut, Chettinad spices, vegetables like potato, carrots, beans, cabbage, cauliflower, peas, and so on. Our aromatic curry at The Chettinad – Indian Restaurant Oslo takes you on a virtual tour to the land of Chettinad.

Chettinad Vegetable Kuruma holds so much flavor and has a reason why it is widely served in the region. Chettiars who are the majority among the inhabitants of the Chettinad region believe that odd numbers are good and so they prefer to be served with an odd number of dishes. Navaratna Vegetable Kuruma also sticks to this context as the literal meaning of Navratna is Nine Gems.

Chettinad Veg Kuruma contains nearly nine varieties of vegetables and spices. It has the coastal flavor as we add coconut, making it a thick and mild curry to be served with rice or rice-based dishes like Idiyappam, Appam, or any Indian flatbread. Contrary to other Chettinad dishes, Vellai Kuruma is not as spicy and can be served during any time of the day.

Chettinad Vegetable Kuruma is also an ideal dish for toddlers, thanks to its nutrients and the perfect consistency. Chettinad spices have a special property that aids in digestion besides enhancing the flavor. It is dominated by spices such as Peppercorn, Star Anise, Bay leaves, cumin, and the most prominent Kal Paasi (Black Stone Flower) which reduces the risk of heart disease and has various health benefits.

The Aromatic Kuruma is almost an everyday dish as it is easy to make with simple ingredients available handy in almost every South Indian Kitchen.

Traditionally, the masala mixture was ground using ‘Ammikkallu’ (Grinding stones) that is almost similar to Mortar and Pestle. However, now we have turned to automated mixer jars to finish the work instantly. Sometimes, the vegetable kuruma is served with biryani and other main dishes and yet the taste stands out.

Anyone who loves to explore different food cultures must have Chettinad cuisine on their list. If you are living in Oslo and miss this delectable cuisine already, drop by at The Chettinad, the best Indian restaurant in Oslo.
