Salna is a popular south indian side dish for parota...It's consistency is a bit runny...It's usually served with parotas and biryanis...It's used while preparing kothu parota for making parotas a bit moist and soft...I saw a recipe
here and changed it slightly for our taste...Lemon juice adds a good flavor to this dish...
