What it is

Chettinad is the Karaikudi country of Tamil Nadu, known for the most heavily spiced meat cooking in the state. Pepper chicken is one of its best-known dishes: chicken cooked down with onions, curry leaves and plenty of black pepper until the masala clings to every piece.

This is a ready-ground masala for that dish, so there is no roasting and grinding of whole spices first. As the name says, pepper leads, and it suits a dry finish better than a thin gravy. Choosing between Annapoorna meat masalas? Chettinad Pepper Chicken for a dry, peppery fry; Chicken 65 for a crisp fried starter; Madurai Mutton Chukka for dry-fried mutton.

Tip: Add a fistful of curry leaves in the last two minutes and let them crisp in the masala. That smell is half the dish.

Goes well with: Heera Curry Leaves, Shan Ginger Garlic Paste, Heera Black Pepper Whole
