Chicken Salna Recipe/Thattukadai Chicken Salna Recipe/How to make Chicken Salna with step by step photos

Chicken Salna is a perfect combo with parota available in almost all the street food shops (Thattukadais). When we  stroll along the streets of Chennai or any other town in Tamil Nadu we can find this chicken salna very commonly. The masala which we grind to make this Salna makes it very special because it is cooked very slowly with chicken to infuse together to give a magical taste. You can very well replace chicken with mutton and serve it with hot parotta or even make a vegetarian version with just vegetables. Also check out other interesting and mouthwatering Chicken Varuvals/Fry/Biryanis/Gravies etc hereMutton/goat Meat Recipes,Fish & Egg Recipes

Shrimp & Drumsticks Gravy/Eral Murungakkai Kuzhambu

This shrimp gravy has a wonderful tangy taste with the flavors of drumsticks and eral combined together with light touch of coconut which is totally stunning and awesome. Rather than consuming the gravy immediately after cooking, it should be made to sit for at least two hours. The juice of the shrimp and drumsticks infuse really well by that time and it is lip smacking.  Meanwhile do check out other interesting Prawn Recipe here and other Non-VegetarianBiryanis/Pulavs/Gravies/Varuvals/Appetizers here.
