Have you ever had hot parota with spicy salna on a cold raining day..My goodness nothing gets better than this..Specially there is a shop near our house, they serve the best salna ever..It is spicy, hot and fully of flavour. Each mouthful taste so yummy and good. If you ever ask me what is the last meal which you want to eat in this earth means, the answer will be “parota & salna”. Yes I am so crazy about that. 

There is something in that magical masala which goes in this salna which totally make this..Try to simmer the gravy for a longer time, so that you will get the real flavour of the salna..This salna taste best with roti, dosa and even with idli..I hope you will try this out and let me know what you feel..

Add in chilli, turmeric and coriander powder and mix well.Add in coconut and mix well. Fry this till they turn golden.
 Take this in a blender and allow to cool down. Grind it to a smooth paste. Set this aside.
Now take onion, tomatoes, green chilli and chicken in a kadai. Add salt and turmeric powder.
Pour in enough water to cover the chicken . Bring it to boil and cook it for 15-20 mins untill the chicken is cooked.

    I am so jealous of the wonderful street food that is being served in India. So full of flavor and quality spices-yum! Turning this street food into a homemade dish was an excellent idea. It looks amazing. Have a great weekend!

    Hey…this is my first time at your blog 😀 I'm a Malayali so this was the first time I've ever heard of a salna, but my husband was born and brought up in Chennai and spoke so much of how his college days were incomplete without a parota/salna combo that I just HAD to try it out!

    Just tried this out today…it turned out so good the first time around that my husband found himself eating more than half of it xD I love the creamy richness of the curry — that's probably what makes it such a hit with parotha. I'm going to serve this tonight for dinner with some dosa…the man of the house is already salivating!!

    This recipe has been book marked by me, printed out and cooked umpteen times. Its just awesome, and reminds me of my home town – Madurai.. While I sit on the other side of the globe.

    Kudos on a great recipe. I'm actually planning on making it tomorrow.
