Hi friends, Today I am going to share the recipe of Hotel salna/ Restaurant style curry for Parotta. In most hotels in South India, Parotta/ Flaky Flat bread is served with a spicy and flavorful curry made with onions and tomatoes. It is the presence of Saunf/ fennel seeds and a number of other ingredients that make the Plain curry or Parotta salna so yummy and delicious.
Parotta Salna is my go to recipe especially during lockdown when I don't have vegetables in my refrigerator. I just pick up some onions and tomatoes and green chillies and make this delicious curry. This South Indian Style Plain Parotta salna tastes best with Parotta (recipe coming soon), but you can also serve it with Idlis, Wheat Dosas, Pooris or normal Roti/ chapathi.
The secret ingredient used for making this plain salna is gram flour and chicken masala powder. These two ingredients add a wonderful aroma and taste to the Parotta curry/salna. I have used Aachi Chicken masala for this recipe, but you can use any other brand of Chicken masala that you get in shops near you.
Do try out this yummy recipe of making Parotta salna/ Hotel style plain Tomato curry for your dinner next time. I am sure you will like its awesome taste.
