Egg Salna/Muttai Salna



Muttai salna is a South Indian stew like gravy which is served along with the Parottas especially in the road side shops and parotta stalls.
The salna is a slightly watery,flavorful gravy can be made with egg,chicken and veggies or can be made plain gravy.
Egg salna is made in two ways in which the beaten egg is add to the boiling gravy and the second version is adding the hard boiled eggs to thegravy.
As my family likes the second method I prefer to make that version,this salna tastes goes very well with idiyappam and dosa too.Now off to the recipe.....................................

Cauliflower Masala/Gobi Masala - No tomato Version

Coming to day 2 recipe for the blogging marathon#62,themed under no tomato gravy is a rich and creamy cauliflower aka gobi masala. As my family loves cauliflower,so it appears in my kitchen frequently in some form.I tried this cauliflower curry without tomato and used yogurt and cashews paste.The result was such an awesome and creamy curry. The chilly powder I used was bit spicy so the curry was in the spicier side so squeezed some lemon juice in the end.So adjust the spice level according to your family preference.Lets move on to the recipe.........                                                                                                                     ...
