Chicken Salna with Parotta



For  the day 3 of combo recipes theme In BM#89 is chicken salna with parotta. Chicken salna is a quiet popular road side dish in southern parts of Tamilnadu. Mostly served with parotta,some places along with idly too.

Originally for day 3, I planned to share the evergreen poori and potato masala.I made it couple of weeks ago and took the picture.But unfortunately I lost the pictures while transferring to my laptop and not able to retrieve a single picture.So had to make a different combo to share as I ran out of potatoes.

Coming to the recipe,its a slightly thinner version  as it needs to be soaked in the parotta.Its a quick and easy method as it is made in pressure cooker.Chicken with the bones are used for this recipe to get a nice flavor and taste.Also the taste will be enhanced if the chicken soaked in the gravy for 3- 4 hours.

Sweet Adai /Inippu Adai

Today is the final day for the Cooking Carnival in mega Blogging Marathon edition ans I like to end the series with a sweet note. Coming to the recipe its a sweet adai which is often made in our households for quick neivedhyam for offering to god..So many variations can be made using wheat flour,maida,ragi flour and sometimes with semolina. Today's version I used both wheat and all purpose flour along with rice flour.Since sweetener is used to make the batter this adai needs to be cooked in a medium flame,otherwise the color will turn dark.Here I used jaggery,even palm sugar and brown sugar can also be used.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Sweet Adai/Inippu Adai                                                                         Basic Information    Pre
