I’ve eaten in Kappa Chakka Kandhari, Bengaluru, and it was a great meal all right, but when I found myself in Chennai recently, I had to visit its first restaurant, which also gave me an opportunity to share a table with my dear friend, Chef Regi Mathew after 25 years. For those who don’t know him yet, this culinary doyen, a master in many cuisines, has made it his life’s work to promote regional cuisine, especially that from his homeland Kerala. The dishes that I tasted at this lunch were the sort that left an indelible impression on my palate. Made to age old home recipes, sourcing the best ingredients from God’s own country - tender jackfruit, breadfruit, chinese potatoes, pearl spot fish, mussels and more - Chef Regi’s menu is a triumph in showcasing regional Malayalee cuisine. And has also, deservedly, earned him a recent accolade as India’s top chef.
The next time you find yourself in Chennai or Bengaluru, definitely book a table at his restaurant. Hope you enjoy this episode. Stay tuned for more from Gourmet On The Road, Chennai. Take care; stay safe and strong. Happy eating!
