Vegetable salna recipe, Parotta salna recipe, How to make veg salna

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!
