Tirumular

This iconic street-style recipe is made by soaking flaky Kerala parottas in salna and semi-thick chicken gravy, then wrapping everything in a fresh banana leaf and slow-cooking it to perfection 🍃🔥.

The banana leaf locks in all the flavours, making the parotta soft, juicy, and irresistibly aromatic. Each bite is packed with rich masala, tender chicken, and the earthy fragrance of the leaf—absolutely delicious and comforting 😋.

In this recipe, let’s see an interesting and traditional way to relish Kerala parotta with chicken and salna, wrapped and cooked in a banana leaf.

Before You Begin

This recipe assumes you already have the following prepared:

  • Kerala Parotta

  • Empty Salna (thin parotta gravy commonly served in Tamil Nadu hotels)

  • Chicken Gravy

(Recipe links are mentioned below for reference.)

Note: Recipe links (for reference):

Place the banana leaf flat on the kitchen counter.

Take two full parottas, tear them into small pieces, and place them in the centre of the banana leaf.

Pour two serving spoons of plain chicken gravy over the parotta pieces.

Next, pour 2–3 serving spoons of salna evenly over the mixture.

Add the sliced onions on top.

Now, gently fold the banana leaf to cover the contents completely.
Tie it with a thread if desired.

Sprinkle some water over the banana leaf and cook on medium flame for 10–15 minutes.

Place the folded banana leaf parcel on a tawa (flat pan).

Once cooked, carefully remove the parcel and place it on a serving plate.

In a separate pan, fry the sliced onion and garlic.

Serve the banana leaf chicken parotta hot along with the fried onion-garlic garnish.

That’s it! Your Special Banana Leaf Chicken Parotta is ready 🍗🍃
Enjoy every flavourful bite!

Serving Suggestions 🍽️

This Kizhi Parotta tastes best when served hot, straight from the banana leaf 🌿.
