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.
