Named after the region in Tamil Nadu from which it hails, this punchy dish combines a rich, velvety sauce infused with cool coconut and warming chilli with vibrant ginger and garlic for a classic curry kick. Easily enjoyed with juicy, tender chicken, white fish or mixed vegetables thanks to its versatility.

Wine Paring: SILENI PINOT GRIS, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand This dish is pleasantly hot, and with the help of the coconut milk and yogurt does not continue heating up in the mouth. We selected the Sileni Pinot Gris for its full fruit flavours, which are weighty enough to work with the chicken. The wine cools and refreshes your mouth, a perfect balance working with the heat. The peach flavours with tangy minerals deliver an off-dry finish.
