Mutton Salna

மட்டன் சால்னா (Mutton Salna)

Mutton salna is my favorite dish. In my childhood days, my mom prepare this every weekend. She always makes it very tasty. I always wish to pack Idly & Mutton saalna for Saturday special class. Nowadays my kids also like the combination. This recipe is even a good match for Idiyappam, parotta & briyani as well.
