Franco-Pondicherry or Pondicherry cuisine, has been union territory’s best-kept secret. The flavours are mild and the fusion between the French and Tamil is what makes this cuisine unique and different from rest of India. There are plenty of options when it comes to this cuisine for vegetarians as well as non-vegetarians. Since it was a former French colony it’s not surprising that the cuisine is heavily influenced by the French way of life. Few typical French dishes have been adapted to suit the taste buds used in spicier Indian food yet with minimum use of spices. One such flavourful coastal fusion dish is Chettinad Fish Fry with Roasted Veggies.
