Tamil Nadu Style Chicken Salna Recipe is an all-time favorite chicken curry that is usually had with flaky parotta by the side.

The curry will eventually develop a bright red color which is very tasty and delicious to have it for your Sunday lunch.

Instructions for Tamil Nadu Style Chicken Salna Recipe

    1

    To begin making the Tamil Nadu Style Chicken Salna Recipe, we will first make the spice mix. 

To make the spice mix

    1

    Heat a small kadai with oil on medium flame, add fennel seeds, peppercorns, cinnamon stick, cloves and star anise and roast them for 30 seconds.  

    2

    Add 1/2 cup of fresh coconut and roast them till they turn slightly brown. This roasting process will take about 5-7 minutes. Turn off the flame and set aside to cool. 

    3

    Transfer the roasted masala into the mixer-jar and grind to a smooth paste by adding little water.

    4

    In the same kadai, heat some oil on medium flame, add the chicken pieces, turmeric and salt and saute till they turn golden brown, making sure you don't overcook the chicken. 

    5

    Take the chicken pieces out and drain on an absorbent paper.  Add curry leaves to the pan and allow it to crackle. Add in ginger, garlic and saute until for a couple of minutes. 

    6

    Add onion and saute until they turn golden brown.

    7

    Next add in the tomatoes and sprinkle some salt and cook until the tomatoes become soft and mushy.

    8

    Once the tomatoes are done you can add the ground masala paste into the kadai along with all the spice powders-garam masala, red chilli powder and turmeric powder. 

    9

    Give it a good stir and cook until the raw smell of the spice powders goes away.

    10

    At this stage add the seared chicken pieces into the gravy and add about 1/2 cup of water, salt to taste and simmer forr 5-7 minutes. 

    11

    You can adjust the consistency of the Chicken Salna and serve hot.
