Kerala Mixture (Chivda)
Spicy Mixture – This humble snack, in its various avatars, is a popular, omnipresent item in all bakeries and hot chips shops across Kerala. When you have guests at home for tea, the spread is not complete without a serving of mixture. Despite being a big fan of the mixture, I had never thought that one day I’ll make this at home.
You can also make this at home. No additives, no preservatives, and no reused oil! Just a tasty, crispy snack!
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.
