Rottukadai Parotta Salna (Spicy South Indian Meat Gravy) (parota)

Recipe by Chef Litwin Shanjit

A fiery South Indian style meat gravy (salna) traditionally served with parotta. The recipe builds three layers – a fresh coconut‑peanut paste, a fragrant tempering, and a dry spice blend – then simmers chicken or mutton until tender. Finished with a splash of the coconut paste for richness, this sauce packs deep, aromatic flavor and a pleasant heat. Also known as parota.
