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.....................................
