Urulai Salna

The Salna is not exactly a kurma, or a curry although it does fall under that bracket. At the most it can be loosley translated as "Gravy" It is not a soup, but has the consistency of one. It can be plain or it can be with large pieces of meat or vegetable. It is something that is taken for granted with your order of Set Dosa or Parotta. Big buckets of this are kept at the stalls and punters ladle out the gravy on top of their dishes. This is no side dish that one uses as a dip. Salna is meant to be poured over and submerge your main dish. That is its nature, you will want to drink it.
