About Chicken Salan (Curry)
The everyday home chicken curry — onion, tomato, ginger-garlic, powdered spices and a cup of water — is lighter than karahi because the gravy is stretched with water. A serving of chicken salan is about 260 kcal and 22 g protein, which makes it a good base for a weight-loss plate.
Tip: Dip, don't drown. The roti soaks up gravy fast; two rotis and one serving of salan is a reasonable 500 kcal dinner.
