Saurashtra Chicken Curry/Gravy - சௌராஷ்டிரிய சிக்கன் கிரேவி



 Sourashtra 

Saurashtra or Sourashtra or ꢱꣃꢬꢵꢰ꣄ꢜ꣄ꢬꢵ or Palkar (Sanskritसौराष्ट्रTamilசௌராட்டிரம்) is an Indo-Aryan language[2] spoken by the Saurashtriancommunity native to Gujarat, who migrated and settled in Southern India. Madurai in South India has the highest number of people belonging to this community and also remains as their cultural center.
The language is largely only in spoken form even though the language has its own script. The lack of schools teaching Saurashtra script and the language is often cited as a reason for the very few number of people who actually know to read and write in Saurashtra script. Latin, Devanagari or Tamil script is used as alternative for Saurashtra Script by many Saurashtrians.

The Saurashtra alphabet was developed towards the end of the 19th century. A number of Sourashtra letters a similar to letters in the Oriya and Gujarati alphabets. Sourashtra has also been written with Telugu and Devanagari alphabets but is usually written with a slightly modified version of the Tamil alphabet.
Combination of 100 language is Sourashtra
