Hi there, and Welcome to CheenaChatti :
If this is your first visit to CheenaChatti, please allow us to take a moment to introduce you to the site. CheenaChatti is a team effort of few like minded people who loves cooking and wish to experiment with tastes in their leisure times. Its all about cooking and nothing else. The word “CheenaChatti” is the malayalam (mother tongue of Kerala, popularly known as God’s own Country) name of the frying pan which takes center stage in any kitchen and thus we named our website so!.
Unlike most of the big recipe sites that you might find on the Internet with thousands of recipes, CheenaChatti is a simple website, with only a few hundred recipes, all tested by our chefs, our families or our friends. We welcome all of you to try our recipes, and if you would like, leave constructive feedback in the comments or through the feedback section of the site.
Our Chefs
I am Dr. Cini P Moideen, a doc by profession. With my sister I photograph and share favorite recipes from our kitchen. I write less frequently because of my studies, but when ever I am free, I tries to come up with a good recipe. Bingo 🙂
Hello there, I am Reeja MytheenKunju. I am a bit lazy house wife living in Dubai with my loving husband and my kid Kunju. Like you all, I love food and spend my free time (if any) in Kitchen.
Hi, I am Jameela Beevi from Kozhikkode Kerala, now living in Manama, Bahrain with my small family. I started cooking in 2008 after my marriage. I love to prepare and eat tasty foods. My favorites include French pastries, homemade ice creams, Indian food, and anything made with meat... 🙂
Hi... I'm SJ! Not a professional chef or anything even related to that... It's just my passion to learn more n more in the kitchen!!! Love adapting recipes, mixing 'SJ Element' into it and taking it to a new level I'm a big-time food lover, but a break in professional career made me dig into culinary world much more than before! And I enjoyed this process of self-migration from being "Food Lover" to "Food Blogger"
Friends, I am Athira Sooraj, a passionate home baker! 🙂 I prefer to share simple Food Recipe for beginners and I just love cooking experiments..

Regina M Zamzam its my pleasure. and I really appreciate all the efforts you doing to bring the naadan recipes.
unfortunately I don’t havve that opportunity to have naadan food for almost 20 yrs.. But I really missed my mom’s cooking. I really amazed how healthy is our food, comparing with western food, but still our people do not appreciate it.
Thanks.. You all deserve he best.

Cheenachatti Team, Great Effort by young team in popularizing KERALA cuisine to the world. Keep innovating & add more items. Now that JUNK FOOD TAX is increased, it is the best time to introduce alternatives to child palate & liking. I am impressed. Congrats.!!

Thank you so much for this site! I was looking specifically for a recipe from Kerala to teach to children here in America. Thinking about the Chicken Stew, as it’s probably closest to what we’d consider a “curry.”
