Chicken Salna is country side dish which is very famous in madurai, tamilnadu often served as a Sidedish for parotta, briyani, idli, kal dosai and idiyappam... I love love salna with parotta, wow, it is such a drool - worthy combination.... Salna, can be made with vegetables or mutton or chicken...
This version is a semi thick gravy suitable for kal dosai and ghee rice.. I have already posted chicken salna in my blog.. You may choose chicken with bones or boneless depending your preference... My family just love this chicken salna a lot and ask me to make it frequently and they love it.. My hubby had it with ghee rice and liked it so much..
When i make lot of dishes for my guests, i definitely add this chicken salna to my list of recipes... My guests just love this dish a lot..
