Few days back The Hindu Metroplus carried an article about a food stall in Lloyd’s Road, that’s serving a different south India Chat. Being an amateur foodie, I was intrigued, today I went along with wife and tasted their delicacies. The food stall is called “Salem Thattuvadai Settu Kadai”, it’s run in a wooden wagon. You will find it anchored in front of Groceteria Super Market near D.A.V. Girls School.

The stall sells about half a dozen variety of items, each vary in the toppings over Thattai, a Rice based fried crispy snack. Wife ordered a Norrukal (crushed snack) at ~Rs.40 that was Thattai & Murukku crushed & mixed with plenty of cut vegetables (beetroot, carrot, onion) making it appear and taste like Bhel Puri. I ordered a Garlic Thattuvadai for Rs.40, which was a sandwich of two Thattai’s with a chutney paste and cut vegetables (beetroot, carrot, onion, garlic) in between them. The chat items are prepared in front of you, delicately by the stall owner and they tasted heavenly.
