Experiments- Chicken Salna & chicken drumsticks fry

Chicken salna-This is one dish that brings back memories of home- was never made at home really. We always used to buy parotta-salna from a hotel in my home town. My neighbor back home , C aunty, used to make the most yummy biryani/parotta/salna ever!

Since my pregnancy started I have been averse to too much masala/spices etc.Now that I am in my 7th month, the aversions are finally gone.

I wanted to cook something that reminds me of home- so I made chicken biryani/chicken leg fry/salna.

Chicken salna
1) Marinate chicken pieces ( small ) in chili powder/ginger garlic paste/jeera powder/coriander powder/turmeric powder/little salt/lemon juice.
2) Grind coconut (1/4 of a cup)/green chilies/pepper corn/jeera/sombu/kasa kasa /coriander seeds.
3) Fry Onions/yelakai ( cardamom)/krambu/biryani leaf/pattai (cinamon).
4) Add the ground paste with the spices and fry until the raw smell goes away.
5) Add tomatoes/ marinated chicken/jeera powder/coriander powder /salt/curry leaves.
6) Add lots of water. Add mint leaves and coriander leaves . Let it boil until oil separates and chicken is fully done.

Yummy chicken salna is ready. You can eat this with Parotta or biryani .
