ABOUT Mirchi ka salan RECIPE

Mirchi ka salan is a popular chili and peanut curry of Hyderabad.This Curry is normally accompanied with biryani. Mirchi ka salan is a spicy and tangy dish which has a unique taste. I haven't used spicy chilies in it as it will balance the flavor of the curry. Normally the salan is liquidy but I have made it little thick. The deep fried mirchis in the tangy and creamy gravy is really delicious.
