Pune (Maharashtra) [India], April 26: Ishaara, a renowned restaurant celebrated for its authentic Indian cuisine, has partnered with Chef Pin, India’s leading platform for home chefs and bakers, to present a special Chettinad pop-up – “Whispers of Chettinad,” starting from 25th April till 30th April, 2025 at Phoenix Mall of the Millennium, Wakad, Pune. This special menu will showcase the bold, flavorful dishes of Tamil Nadu’s Chettinad region, expertly crafted by home-chef Rekha Rigo, offering Pune a vibrant new culinary experience.
Chettinad cuisine, rooted in South India’s rich culinary heritage, is brought to life through Rekha’s carefully crafted dishes. The pop-up menu at Ishaara will present both the cultural legacy and global influences of the Chettiar community. The Chettinad menu offers a vibrant mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options that include an Assorted Vadai Platter and Chettinad Uppu Kari. Mains include the slow-cooked Chettinad Mutton Curry and the bold Mushroom Pepper Masala. Sides like Kongu Nadu Vellai Pulao and flaky Parottas complement the robust flavors, while the creamy Elaneer Payasam rounds off the meal on a sweet note.
