mirchi ka salan recipe | mirchi salan | biryani salan | hyderabadi salan with step by step photo and video recipe. biryani recipes are common across india and are served in a different way with a different side dish. generally, it is served with yoghurt raita or salad, but it can be also served with different types of curries. one such popular curry recipe is the popular mirchi ka salan recipe known for its spicy and creamy taste derived from peanuts and green chillies.

salan recipes are very common in the southern state of india and biriyani recipes are incomplete without it. the most common and a popular choice is mirchi ka salan but it can also be made with other vegetables like beans, okra, eggplant and many more. i personally like the combination of green chillies salan with hyderabadi dum biriyani. it is mainly because the way the biriyani is cooked. if you have noticed, the hyderabadi biriyani is cooked in dum style with biriyani gravy at the bottom and long grain basmati rice at the top. so an additional curry would help to mix the rice and biriyani gravy when served. but this is just my preference and you can easily serve it with any rice recipes or even pulao recipes. apart from biriyani, i even like it when served with malabar parotta similar to salna. trust me it has myriad options and uses cases.

mirchi salanfurthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variations to the popular mirchi ka salan recipe. firstly, the consistency is key for this recipe. it should not be either thick or thin consistency. especially due to the use of peanuts, it may soon turn thick and may require additional water for the right consistency. secondly, if you feel adding chillies may spice up the curry, you may remove all seeds and use it without it. alternatively, you can also use okra, beans and capsicums as an alternative. lastly, you may prepare this curry in large quantity and deep freeze them for future use. you may need to add more oil for the first time as it helps as a preservative.
