But after marriage, at my MIL's place(Tirupur), they used to make parotta & salna at home frequently and the salna tastes just like the parotta stall ones and they got the recipe from ST's aunt family. Actually ST's aunt family runs a small restaurant at their home town near tenkasi and in their restaurant the main menu is paraotta & salna. Now you know,why i said that this salna tastes just like the parotta stall salna.

Cut the onions into thin slices & tomato into small pieces.Heat the pan with oil, add cinnamon,cloves & cardamom and sauté for 30 sec, then add the onions and sauté till it become translucent.
Add curry leaves, green chili ginger & garlic paste and sauté for few mins until it becomes aromatic.
Add tomatoes & spices(turmeric, red chili & coriander powder) and sauté till the tomatoes becomes mushy.
In the mean grind the ingredients listed under "To Grind" into smooth paste.
Add the coconut paste into the pan and add water as needed & give a good mix.
Add salt & garam masala and allow it to boil for 12-15 minutes(till raw smell goes off) in medium flame.
Finally garnish with coriander leaves, Tada, Delicious Parotta stall style Salna is ready.Serve it with Poratta.
- This gravy tends to thick when boiling, so add more or less water and adjust the consistency as per your liking.
- Boil the gravy until the raw smell of peanuts goes off, it takes extra few minutes than the other gravy.
- I have used the store brought peeled and roasted peanuts, otherwise you have to roast the peanuts well and let it cool before grinding.
dropped in your site.. the recipe looks simple and easy..
ReplyDeleteone doubt: mixed veggies can also be added in this right?
Yes ,you can add the veggies as per your wish..But i didnt try that way..
DeleteCan we add poppy seed and mint leaves for extra flavor or not necessary.
ReplyDeleteSure, you can add those for extra flavor. But as it, it's too good.
