My third day for cooking with alphabets series is with the letter 'M'..I was thinking of so many recipes using this letter, but I didn't have time to cook anything..But luckily I had a post which is pending in my drafts for a while..i checked it and the name starts with the letter M.
If you ever have parota from any road side shop they will serve it with chicken salna or mutta salna..Both are so delicious..This makes a perfect sidedish for roti, parota, dosa or idli..I hope you will love it and tell me how it turned out..I am sending this recipe to Blogging Marathan Day 3 with the theme 'Cooking with Alphabets'.

I learn so much when I visit here! I've never seen curry leaves before. I love coconut so that was fun to see go into the dish. I also love eggs so I was intrigued by that addition. It looks so so delicious!

Tried this curry today. The taste was OK..
But the salna turned watery after I added the eggs. Eggs drank away all the masala.
What could have been wrong?
