    Hi! Thank you for this recipe. It came out wonderful and I served with your Hyderbadi chicken dum biryani.
    The salan was very thick though. I don’t know what I did wrong. It was very yummy but I prefer it restaurant style, with the consistency of sambar but this one is more thick like a curry.
    Any idea what might have been wrong?

      Hello MC, thank you so much for trying this recipe! Actually yes, it does turn a little thick (kind of semi thick consistency) but can be diluted with water. Feel free to adjust the consistency as desired with either water or coconut milk. Peanut, sesame seeds both has the tendency to thicken once its simmered for a long time, so turn it off once the desired thickness is reached. Hope this helps, thanks a bunch!

    Hi Mullai, Good and unique recipe. I was hesitant to try this at first 'coz I once tried the 'Ready to Eat' version of this recipe and it was so bad. But, I made this dish anyway, exactly as you had described and served this with peas pulao and it was GREAT. Thanks a lot.

    Hi Mullai Ma'am, This dish can be combined only with briyani or will it goes well anyother items, than briyani ?  I would like to know how it tastes like…

      Its quite tangy and tastes good with roti, naan, ghee rice,any pulav and sometimes with plain paratha. Perfect choice would be with biryani.
