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.

Vegetable Biriyani - Pressure Cooker Method

Coming to day 3 of Blogging Marathon#62 under the theme quick dishes I am sharing a one pot meal.This biriyani can be made in 30 minutes if the veggies are chopped and kept or even frozen veggies can also be used. As I have the habit of chopping veggies for the next day cooking this takes only 20-25 minutes of cooking.Also I use the boiling hot water to cook the rice faster.When the rice is cooking in the pressure cooker you can make either a simple raita or an egg omelette to pair up with this biriyani.                                                                                                                                  ...
