Dear friends, We hope the monsoon showers are giving you a much needed respite from the scorching sun. Even if the rain-induced potholes are a nightmare, there’s nothing like the whiff of a wet soil and the lush green that the rain invokes in her. It is one of the best seasons to be here.

If you are an expat relocating into the city or just looking to spend some time here, our cover story would tell you how to survive and thrive in Namma hot Chennai. We also have expat Jane sharing her ‘success story’ in making Chennai her home. From movies to pageants, she makes the best of her life in this foreign land.

Foodies, gather around, we spill the beans on where to head for a traditional Tamil feast this month. Not a fan, we also have the deets on the best Asian fare in the city. So, don’t let the monsoon spoil your party, where there’s good food, there’s always reason to celebrate.

Cheers!

Vanakkam Chennai: Ready To Explore?

- RJ

Chennai, Madras, Madrasapattinam… this vibrant and lively city is known by multiple names and has many faces all intricately interwoven with the very vein of the city’s pulse: its people and its culture. Living in this city is an opportunity to explore the beautiful confluence of the old and the new as the city is as cosmopolitan as it is traditional. Sure, it does not have that vibe of Bangalore or the parties of Mumbai but it is only here that you can take a run on the sandy Marina as the sun softly settles over the horizon, go on a shopping spree around T Nagar and finish off your day with a piping hot cup of filter kaapi.

If you are a newcomer from abroad looking to move to this spirited and thriving city, this article is for you as we have covered all the basics that you would need in terms of relocation help, culture assimilation programs and the best restaurants to visit for everything from a good plate of pasta to a croissant.

Relocation Services: Relocating your entire life with kids, pets and everything else in between to an entirely new country can be quite a daunting task without the right help. Well, worry not! Companies like Global Adjustments are here to help you with everything related to relocation. With over 28 years of experience in the area and spread across multiple locations in the country, they are your one stop solution providing end-to-end services covering immigration and visa help to finding you the perfect home and the right school for your little ones, thereby facilitating a seamless transition into everyday life here in Chennai. The company even goes the extra mile and organizes little coffee chats to help you socialize with other expats in the city.

Culture Assimilation:

Food & Groceries:

Food is the love language of many and it is one of the first things we miss when away from home. Spots like 22 Constanzaa and Pumpkin Tales offer authentic Mediterranean and other cuisines from all over the world. If you are ever in the area, do not miss the best croissants from Pumpkin Tales, they are to die for. If you are looking to buy groceries, Amma Naana supermarket is your best spot to buy everything gourmet from around the world.

Special Tips:

When asked what something that all expats should know before coming to Chennai, cross-cultural sensitisation specialist, Bindu Menon shares that all they need is an open mind to take in the huge differences that they may encounter. “It can be a tad overwhelming because Indians tend to offer unsolicited help, but know that they consider you their family and will always be there for you, so you do not have to worry about losing your way here.” She also instructs to always carry passport size photographs – many copies or one CD from which you can take printouts - since you may need one at any time. She also suggests one to not just constrict themselves to other expats from the same country but rather try and mingle with the locals as well.

Moving away from home is always tough, especially with children involved. So before you make that big jump, research well about everything that you need and get on that plane with an attitude that screams, “I am ready to have my life changed” because that is what Chennai will do to you; completely change your life in the best way possible.

Chennai has hosted numerous expats over the years. Many have made this city their second home and are proud Chennaites for life. One such Namma Ooru girl is Jane Kataria, RJ, TV host, actress, fitness model, belly and ballet instructor, beauty queen and the list goes on.

We had an insightful chat recently where she shared her colourful experiences in Chennai. A Russian by birth, Jane has been living in Chennai for more than half a decade. Starting as a much-loved RJ on Chennai Live with her very own weekend show- Expat Live, Jane has worked with some of the biggest names in Kollywood and has worked in various Hindi and pan- Indian projects on TV and OTT. She shares that her move to Chennai was a journey into the unknown. She was quite apprehensive about Chennai’s weather and life here. However, she adds that the genuine warmth of the people of Chennai quickly beat out the scorching summer and made her feel at home.

While reminiscing about her journey in Kollywood so far, she says that the industry has been very welcoming and it’s an hon-

When Chennai becomes ‘home’

our to collaborate with so many talented artists. She has worked with Director Raghava Lawrence, Director Elan, Director Simbu Devan, and many others. Her fondest memories are those of Actor Vijay in the film Mersel. She revealed that the superstar was very humble and friendly and she was surprised by his innate humility and hospitality.

As for the city itself, she finds that the metro is a multicultural, multi-cuisine hotspot with activities and entertainment available for everyone. She advises expats to not be overwhelmed by Chennai as this mega city slowly captures

Favourite hobby: Surfing on the miles-long coastline. She experiences inner peace and a certain oneness with the ocean’s blue beauty.

Most loved food: Typical Tamilian breakfast of Dosa, Idlis and various Chutneys.

Must-visit: Mahabalipuram. She finds the history and culture emerging from the place to be fascinating.

Over the recent years, the food scene in Chennai has opened up a plethora of opportunities, innovation and exploration to those seeking something out of the ordinary. People are no more reluctant to try out the different cuisines and have learnt to appreciate the unorthodox. From kaiyendhi bhavans to elegant star hotels, there has been a constant evolution to keep up with the trends and competition. However the city, known to be rooted in tradition, has sometimes moved too far along in trying to appease the palates of the Gen Z & the Millennial. That’s why food festivals that turns back the spotlight on the rural recipes & old methods of cooking is significant to retain cultural relevance & revival amongst the younger generation.

Chef Damu’s Thalaivan Virunthu at GRT Grand is one such festival that does exactly this. The entire theme hovers around health and recipes that are handed down from generations. The display of soups, appetizers & mains are noteworthy for their focus of nutrition and digestion. The Vela Poosanikai Soup (white pumpkin soup) is something that is extremely rare to find in the menus of most restaurants. It is light, fresh and the delicate mix of masalas provides warmth to the soul. Also, millets have been given a pride of place in this amazing festival. The intent is to encourage people to sample dishes made out of these cereal crops. Like the original Ven Pongal has been given a twist by incorporating Kuthiraivali (barnyard millet) with rice and delicious dollops of desi clarified butter. The texture of the millets is surprisingly stronger and richer than the original. Duly deserves a high score.

Who would have thought that the humble Eggplant would exude such amazing flavours with its partnership with Chilli Bean Sauce? The fresh and supple eggplant is well marinated and imbibes the tang and savour of the sauce that makes it a relish that can be eaten sans accompaniments.

Kozhukattais have a separate fan base but this with the gunpowder spritzed as embellishment is a cracker of a dish! The heat from the gunpowder is just right to balance out the flat taste of ragi. An appetizer that is nutritious and ideal to quell the evening pangs of hunger.

For mains, the Satti Soru is a standout for sticking to its traditional methods of preparation. It is basically white rice mixed

with the thick masala residue of meat gravy that sticks to the clay pot. In this case, the flavours of Mutton Chukka fill the nostrils when the rice mix is served hot on a plate. The added earthy flavour from the clay pot only elevates the taste & texture.

Other gravies like the Allam Kodi Chicken which is a ginger infused chicken curry, Mangalore Fish Curry & Ragi Mudde with Kathrikai Karuvadu (dry fish) Kozhambu are memorable not only for their native flavour but also because they are reminiscent of the legacies passed down from generations. The highlight is reserved for the Murungakai Malli Mutton Kurma!

The green gravy instantly catches the eye for its unusual mix of just drumsticks and mutton. The meat is soft, warm and cooked so well that it’s infused with the drumstick flavours. It almost seems like the mutton plays second fiddle to the aroma of the drumsticks!! The intensity of the gravy is unmatched like nothing else.

Though they have a long list of desserts like the Ada Prathaman, Pastries and Puddings, the Ragi Koozh served with Shallots, Fryums & Dried Red Chillies is, in Chef Damu’s parlance, TOP NOTCH!! This finger millet porridge is made from a mix of ragi flour, broken rice, buttermilk, green chillies, ginger and then left to ferment overnight. It’s gluten free, rich in fibre and minerals with an instant ability to cool down & energise the fatigued system. Basically a power packed generator in a pot!!

Much like its objective , this virunthu serves to prove why our ancient recipes made from traditional ingredients is as good or even better than the contemporary options available today in terms of flavour, taste and texture. Your attention please, Gen Z!

Asia’s Melting Pot of Delicacies

In keeping with the ever growing love towards oriental flavours, the city is now home to a brand new outlet that serves anything and everything Pan Asian all under one classy roof. The Somerset’s (at MRC Nagar) latest addition in the form of Asia Kitchen just brims with the essence, aromas & zest of Asian cuisines & cultures. The setting is resplendent with earthy colours with a liberal use of wood. The warm lighting spreads its presence across the walls highlighting the artwork and luminously elegant inscriptions .The red in the cushions add spark and lends balance to the decor. Their open kitchen constantly buzzes with activity & its energy spills out to the dining area in the form of innovation and authenticity.

The menu is distinctly collated regional cuisine wise for easier exploration of all varied tastes. Take the Crispy Lotus Stem for instance. It is dressed in honey with a touch of pepper and curry leaves ... all out to impress! The initial crunch is full of smack and sustains its role as an appetizer. The delectable Sichuan Pepper Chicken is noteworthy for its sweet & sour lingering aftertaste.

Sushis and Dimsums have always been the gold standard for rustic comfort food. There is nothing more satisfying than the feel of fresh sushi on the palate. Both the Asparagus and the Ebi (shrimp) Tempura Rolls are something else entirely. They are carefully curated with the right mix of creamy flavours,

coarse textures, indulgent fillings & of course, happy memories! The beautiful yet delicate Blue Pea and Spicy Asparagus Dumpling is a sight to behold and warrants admiration like a priceless artefact on display!

Drama & theatrics! The much loved Omurice has everything to showcasespice, sweetness, aroma, freshness & texture. The fluffy warm omelette breaks & oozes it’s yolk at first touch like molten lava over sloped terrain. Gravies like the Chicken Panang, Fish in Hot Bean Sauce & the Chicken in Roasted Garlic Sauce are absolute champions in intermingling flavours of tart, tang & the tropical. The lemongrass & galangal emit citrusy freshness while the garlic & kapi paste provides textured value. Aah..So totally satiating!!

Who knew that sticky rice could be an integral element in such a blissful dessert? But that’s the surprise! The gelatinous rice is served alongside freshly sliced mangoes that are sweeter than honey. But the hero is the creamy & luxuriant coconut milk that should be poured over in liberal amounts to experience the richness of the dish in its entirety. Each mouthful of this Mango Sticky Rice guarantees shivers of exuberance that remains memorable for its simplicity and mix of textures.

So if Asian cuisines is at the top of the list, this is a must visit place to explore the diverse and dynamic complexities of every oriental flavours conceptualised on a plate.
