    ONE POT vellai kurma

    If you are a big fan of hotel-style parotta salna, this pressure cooker white kurma is perfect. Pressure cookers take care of most of the cooking; a boil and dish are ready in no time.

    should I soak the ingredients?

    it is optional but for smooth grinding, I would recommend soaking poppy seeds, and cashews in warm water before grinding for restaurant-style vella salna

    should I pulse or grind the mixture?

    grind well so that the coconut would curdle while cooking also cashews get blended well

    can I reduce water?

    cashew, poppy seeds, and pottukadalai make parotta salna thick so I would prefer adding extra water

    Should I use measured water for salna recipe?

    It is optional but to make the recipe beginner-friendly I have given the measurements. feel free to adjust according to your preferred consistency.
