Mutton Salna is a tasty, finger licking side dish for roti, parotta or biryani. I made a simple and easy version of salna and it is very tasty! You can have this with dosa too. Usually the salna is a little watery, but I made this slightly thick in consistency as we were having this as a side dish for roti. Mostly salna is made with bony pieces of mutton as that tastes the best! You can make the same with chicken as well.

Method
1. Wash the mutton with some turmeric powder and set aside.
2. In a pressure cooker, heat the oil and add the whole spices to temper.
3. Add the chopped onion and saute until the onions brown slightly.
4. Add the ginger garlic paste and saute until the raw smell leaves.
5. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 3-5 minutes till it's well cooked.
6. Grind the coconut, cashew and kasa kasa to a blender, add little water and blend it to a fine smooth paste.
7. Add the mint leaves and mix well.
8. Add the coriander powder, red chilli powder, turmeric powder and salt. Mix in and cook for 3 minutes.
9. Add the mutton pieces and mix well till the pieces are coated with the masala.
10. Saute the mutton for 5-8 minutes.
11. Add the coconut paste and water mix well.
12. I added little more red chilli powder to make it more spicy.

14. Close the cooker and pressure cook for 5-7 whistles or until the mutton is cooked soft.
15. When the pressure settles, open the cooker and enjoy!
Notes
1. Adjust the spice level to your taste. I added more than 1 tsp of red chilli powder.
2. Adjust water as per your requirement. If you want watery salna, add 1 cup of water. I used only 1/2 cup of salna as I wanted a thick salna.
3. Try to use mutton pieces with bones for a tasty salna.
