Local Wine ‘N’ Dine
The warmth and hospitality of South India have piqued the interest of many people, and many find it fascinating to visit the country. Indian cuisine differs from other cuisines in both taste and cooking methods. One of the things that makes Indian food so unique is the generous use of spices. However, it’s important to remember that each spice used in Indian dishes has its own nutritional and medicinal properties. Pondicherry, on the southeast coast of India, is not an exemption.
No visit to this former French colony is complete without savouring its signature cuisine, the Pondicherry Créole. This delectable cuisine features a range of colonial dishes that originated here, along with local specialties that have evolved with colonial influence. Each creole dish is unique to its place of origin, and the Pondicherry creole is a cherished treasure that can only be experienced within the city.
Moreover, to fully experience Puducherry’s Colonial Fishing Village, it is essential to try the traditional South Tamil cuisine of the region, including the local favourites of fish gravy and country chicken gravy, best enjoyed with a side of white rice. These dishes are not to be missed and are sure to leave you craving for more. However, there’s more to explore than just the Creole and local cuisines. So, make sure to bring your appetite and get ready for a mouth-watering culinary adventure.
