Take about 400 gm of chicken and cut it into small pieces. I had some chicken legs, so I decided to used them. But you get a much better taste with smaller pieces. You can also replace the chicken in this recipe with mutton, and a you'll get a brilliant mutton stew. Since I was using the leg pieces, I decided to score them to absorb the flavours.
Get the spices ready.
Peel and cube the potato and carrot. Finely chop the onions, beans, onions, ginger and garlic. Cut the green chilies lengthwise.
Heat oil in a deep-bottomed pan and fry the spices minus the bay leaf in a medium flame.
Wait for the spices to release a wonderful aroma, and add the ginger and garlic, and fry till they turn brown.
Add the onions and bay leaf, and fry till the onions turn translucent.
Add salt, green chilies, beans, carrots and potatoes, and fry while stirring.
Add the pepper and turmeric powders. Note: Adding turmeric powder is optional. If you want your stew to have a white colour, add only the pepper powder in this step.
Close the lid, and let it cook for 3 minutes.
Add the chicken pieces, and fry for another 2-3 minutes while stirring slowly to mix the ingredients.
Pour two cups of water (just enough water to cover the chicken)
Close the lid and cook for 30 min in low flame. After 30 min, open the lid, and check the chicken and potatoes. They should be cooked to perfection by this time. Pour the coconut milk, and stir gently. Check the salt again. Note: Do NOT bring the stew to boil after adding the coconut milk. The coconut milk will split if you heat it more.
This stew has a subtle spicy aroma, and a mild creamy texture. Serve hot with appams or bread. Alternatively, you can have it with rice or chapatis as well.
Place one or two parottas on a plate. Pour a generous helping of chicken salna on the side. Let the curry slowly trickle into the crispy, flaky parotta. When they meet, there is magic! Tear a piece of parotta soaked in the salna and put it in your mouth. Gently chew and feel all the textures - The crispiness of the outer layers. The slightly soggy bit with the salna. This is street food at its best. This is an improved version of the chicken salna I had posted before. I thought this would be a good one to resume here.
. This chicken salna recipe, like many other popular recipes on this blog, is from a mom's kitchen. I got this recipe from my cousin. He sourced it from a friend who got it from his mom. This chicken salna recipe will help you cook your favourite street food in the comfort of your kitchen.

Think of potato podimas as a flavourful Indian version of mashed potatoes cooked with a seasoning of mustard seeds, urad dal, and curry leaves.
. Imagine the fragrance when mustard seeds, urad dal, and fresh curry leaves are tempered in oil. Now add mashed potatoes to the pan. The smooth, creamy mashed potatoes will absorb all the great flavours. That, my friends, is the story of any good potato podimas!
. There is nothing pretentious about potato podimas! It is a simple preparation with some basic ingredients. For an Indian recipe, it requires very few spices. Potato podimas is probably a South Indian rendition of the classic mashed potatoes. But it is quintessentially Indian and a delicious dish that you can put together without any effort.

Thank you! Well, you are right. They usually are. I added a bit of turmeric. Like I mentioned, it’s optional.
Interesting. I thought stews were always white! Love your presentation.
Thank you very much!
