What is Chicken Ka Salan?
Chicken salan is a classic gravy recipe that is warm and comforting. It’s a simple recipe made with a few basic ingredients. Chicken is cooked in a smooth gravy made with onion, tomatoes, and spices. The chicken is cooked to perfection and served with either rice or roti.
The trick to making a good chicken salan gravy is to get the perfect balance of colour and body without making the gravy too gloopy and thick. For this, you must get the number of onions and tomatoes right. You also need to ensure that the masala is smooth before you add the chicken.

- INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat oil in a pot, and add the onions. Fry till the onions become brown and translucent.

- Once the masala is cooked and the oil separates, add the chicken pieces.
- Sauté on high heat. Stir constantly until the chicken changes colour, and there is no pink colour visible.
- Add around 2.5 cups of water and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and simmer for half an hour on low heat.

- Serve hot with rice or roti. Enjoy!
- Recipe Notes
- The whole spices used in the recipe are optional, but they are highly recommended.
- Paprika or Kashmiri red chilli powder has a mild flavour and is not too spicy. This allows you to add more for that deep colour. However, if you prefer your dishes spicy, you can add red chilli powder to enhance the spicy flavour of the dish.
- To give the gravy more thickness and texture, you could grind the onion and tomatoes once they are cooked well with the spices.
