An Ode to Karaikudi at Feast, Sheraton Hyderabad — Where Chettinad Comes Alive Some cuisines don’t just feed you — they tell stories. And at Feast, Sheraton Hyderabad, “An Ode to Karaikudi” is exactly that — a journey into the heart of Chettinad cuisine, curated by Chef Athi Lakshmi. The experience begins on a traditional note with Panakaram, a jaggery-based welcome drink that sets the tone with its earthy sweetness. Soon after, the deeply comforting Mudavattukal Soup arrives — rich, peppery, and layered with the kind of flavours that define Tamil home cooking. The root vegetable has a unique taste, a bit similar to lamb trotters. The appetisers bring in bold textures and spice — from the perfectly spiced Kola Urandai and rustic Kozhi Sukka to the surprisingly delightful Valakkai Kola, each dish carrying the unmistakable stamp of Chettinad’s spice-forward identity. Moving into the mains, the depth of the cuisine truly unfolds. The Muringakka Kari Kolambu and Nethili Meen Kolambu showcase the signature tamarind-spice balance of the region, while sides like Athalakkai Poriyal add a homely touch. The Mullu Murungai Adai, a poori with its earthy flavours and texture, ties the meal together beautifully. This isn’t just a food festival — it’s a carefully crafted expression of Karaikudi’s culinary heritage, brought into a refined dining space without losing its soul. If you appreciate regional Indian cuisine with depth, spice, and authenticity, this is an experience worth making time for. 📅 18th – 22nd March 2026 🍽️ Lunch & Dinner 📍 Feast, Sheraton Hyderabad Hotel @sheratonhyderabad @kumarathilakshmi @altus.communications @satya.geebu @chapteroflife_sourav [Tamil Cuisine, Chettinad, Karaikudi, Regional Cuisine of India, Hyderabad Food Festival, Hyderbad, Tamil Nadu] #chettinad #karaikudi #tamilfood #regionalcuisine #india
