street

food

s you won't find anywhere else. We're on a mission to discover the best late night eats this South Indian city has to offer by the end of this episode. You will find a dish that can only be found after 11:30 p.m. but first let's start our after hours tour with a late night dinner. It's 9:00 p.m. m. o'clock and we stopped at a small chenai joint famous for their vegetarian soup which has claimed to be a meat flavored dish for years, Kon was in demand and my customers kept asking me to add them, it's a good vegetarian alternative here for a evening snack and does not affect the stomach, so everyone of all age groups from 6 to 60 years old enjoy this salute to colan, also known as roadside fungus, this Indochinese vegetarian soup has some spiced mushrooms which remarkably imitate the taste of meat so add this secret sauce CSI classified sauce in a pan its covert ingredients include mushrooms, turmeric, chili, coriander, gar Masala, white flour and corn flour, then add fried white mushrooms, these soldiers fried were coated with turmeric powder, chilli powder, coriander gar Masala MAA powder and corn flour, then add chicken masala and let it thicken, finally serve with chopped raw red onions and did I read that right?

Cornflakes. The end result is more like a stew than a soup, but who's focusing on the details right now? At night, this creation is a peculiar concoction of mushrooms, onions, and corn flakes mixed together and all drenched in that top-secret sauce. Our second dinner arrives at 10:p. m. and after all those vegetables I feel like something else, say chicken, so it's time to add a little cluck to our evening look. I first heard about Japanese chicken 3 years ago through a foreign friend who I especially love. As for its flavors, I made some modifications to the recipe and I sell it here now.

The difference is that I have not only made it tasty for chicken lovers, but also for pasta lovers, as well as Japanese chicken, a dish that is more chenai. than Tokyo despite its name, this crunchy delight is a local favorite that has the city of Chenai buzzing. Whipping it up is surprisingly simple. Start by melting butter in a pan and throwing a tablespoon of maida or white flour into it along with carrots, green chillies and onions. next to the white sauce made with chili flakes, white pepper, black pepper and a splash of milk, once the sauce is thicker than a 4 p.m. traffic jam. m. from Los Angeles, add those golden brown chicken nuggets and toss them until they're coated in sauce. fresh cilantro and fresh cream because well, that's how we're elegant and last but not least, sprinkle it with grated cheese because grated cheese makes everything better.

The spicy punch of this chicken dish is so good that it almost distracts you from the fact that it is named after it. representative place with which he has no association, like when your friend insists on being called a doctor after taking a CPR class, but he drops the strange names at 10: p.m. It's the perfect fuel to continue your nighttime adventure as the city falls asleep My appetite is wide awake Right now it's

midnight

and we're looking for three more unique

food

s that thrive after

dark

. Next on the list is a savory classic that is a non-negotiable on any South Indian food lover's list, usually the rice and pulses are soaked and ground for the dough, but I wanted to make the dough here fresh for clients.

I made a mixture myself so that the dough is the specialty of our Adai. thinner than other places to make it crispier so that our customers feel more satisfied with our ADI. This is Adi AIA, an iconic rice pancake that has had chai locals in trouble for decades. You can make it with a Dy dough, a tasty fusion of rice flour, black graham flour. and water, mix it with some gram flour, red onions, a mix of mints and coriander leaves, then spice things up with green chillies, salt, Kashmiri red chilli and water, heat our trusty tawa and pour the drizzled batter with oil, then let it sizzle and solidify before. turning it over, serve with AAL, a local stew made with 13 different vegetables, then red chutney and white chutney.

You won't stumble across this gem at your local IHOP. The Adai has a slightly crunchy exterior and a soft, plush interior, it is the perfect container for our cream. and coconut, the curry is filled with a variety of different vegetables that are lightly cooked so that the crunch factor remains infused with a bit of sourness from the curd. This pancake will completely surprise you. It's 1:30 a.m. m. and the streets are almost deserted, but some dedicated vendors still keep the flame alive to satisfy the hunger of nocturnal souls like mine. Next up is parota, a staple dinner dish across South India, while each restaurant puts its own spin on this beloved dish, the one we stumbled across the most.

Like the creation of a mad scientist to put together this dish, start by folding the parota dough to get that perfect flaky texture, let it cook on the hot plate until beautifully golden brown, then crush the bread by hand to create its signature puffy texture, Now it's time to make way for The Star of the Show, our Prawn Masala, a tomato-based sauce with onion, ginger, garlic paste, turmeric, chili powder and more. Once the Prawn Masala is thick and hot enough, place it on the parota bread, add a few drops of mayonnaise sauce and cover it with the other bread. then beat a couple of eggs in a mug and pour it over everything, fold the boiled eggs into the sandwich and give it a much needed twist, drown it in a little more prawn curry, then divide it into four pieces and serve this Frankenstein creation. all the flavor profiles to satisfy your late night munchies the harot prawn sandwich was born from a spicy and wild Ronde Vu between french toast, omelette and curry prawns.

Look, love triangles work in the end. We have one more dish to prepare before. I inevitably fall into a food coma, it's after 3am. m. And, luckily for us, we found a 50-year-old restaurant that is open exclusively during the Ship Cemetery. These guys serve a variation of Biryani that you have never seen before when you come to Chennai. ask for SE Biryani, they will take you to Samco Biryani is like a very light meal, so you can eat it at any time, even at

midnight

. Midnight Cravings you will be satisfied with this ID biryani featuring idia pom bani, a daring invention that has rice.

Scratching their heads in bewilderment, the community begins by adding oil to a frying pan and continues with chopped red onions. Curry leaves, cashews, julienned onions, julienned green chillies and more cashews, then give it a little stir before adding some eggs, season with turmeric powder. green chilies and stir, then enter the idia pom, these fibrous pancakes are made of steamed rice flour, top with chicken meat boiled in turmeric and a little salt, then mix to combine everything and finally add the secret yellow ghee sauce from the restaurant or clarified butter and mix this dish is the perfect late-night indulgence, but take my advice, don't wait until dawn like I did, where you may find yourself having breakfast instead of a late-night snack.

The string hoppers are delicate and airy, absorbing the delicious blend of spices and chicken essence and if that wasn't enough, served raita and green gelatin sauce for an extra touch of flavour. Besties, we've made it another successful night of street food foraging, now it's time to decide what time of night. Street food came closest to my heart, was it the vegetarian Kanan EV soup, the inventive Japanese chicken, the powerful duo of a d avial, the messy prawn sandwich, the parota or the unique idia pomani? For me, the bani stood out the most. I love him, even now, people.
