Pattanikadai by Shanmugaraj Traders - Since 1962

Our Story: A Lasting Taste Since 1962

As the years passed, the business evolved into a cherished family legacy. Every generation stepped up to keep the flame alive, introduced new classic varieties like kara boondi and kara sev—all while fiercely protecting the original recipes and flavors passed down to us. Today, the legacy is carried forward by his sons, Natarajan and Sakthivel, who ensure that every batch made is fresh, hot, and entirely authentic.

Carrying the Legacy Online

More than snacks, it’s a tradition. Every bite carries our story.

A Simple Beginning

Growing the Tradition

We might not be a massive corporate brand, but if you walk near the Chidambaram bus stand and ask anyone, "Where is the Pattanikadai?"—they will point you straight to our doors. Now, the third generation of grandchildren is stepping in to take our family's heritage digital. We are expanding our footprint online so you can enjoy the authentic taste of Chidambaram from anywhere, rooted in the exact same values we started with: Quality, Taste, and Trust.

Our journey began in 1962 in Chidambaram with a simple promise: fresh, hot, and traditional flavors. Founded by our grandfather, Shanmugakani, and built alongside our grandmother, Anushya, பட்டாணிக்கடை (Pattanikadai) started as a humble shop serving local favorites like perfectly roasted peanuts and Yellow peas. It was a foundation built entirely on hard work, consistency, and an unmistakable homemade taste.
