A traditional Hyderabadi salan is made in a shallow wide flat bottomed handi. The salan is a sealed in this handi and kept on low fire to cook with all the flavours trapped inside to give that authentic rich taste. I have modified this recipe to suit our present day requirements, without compromising on the traditional flavours.
Most Hyderabadis serve Mirchi ka Salan with Biryani . However it can be eaten with Chapati or rice .
