Vegetable salna is packed with lot of veggies cooked in coconut paste and goes very well with parotta. Though it involves a lot of steps in its making it is easy to prepare and it is definitely worth the time spent. Salna can be made in both veg and non veg versions. I usually make parotta and little egg biryani when I make veg salna as we like it that way. Salna can also be used to make veg kothu parotta a popular food in Tamil Nadu. So lets get to the making!
