Instant Pot Mushroom Salna (IP Kaalaan Salna)

I have already posted the chicken salna recipe for parotta. This mushroom salna tastes equally good to the chicken salna because I followed the same steps as that but with a very slight variations. Vegetarians can enjoy this super yummy salna with parotta and rotis. Check out my other curries and gravies too.

8. Open the lid. Add coriander leaves.

Notes:

The amount of chillies added above gives a nice spicyness. So adjust the spice level as per your taste.
This Salna goes well with chappathi, poori, naan, pulao, parotta. Even I tried it with plain rice that I liked it very much.
Adding 2 cups water seems the salna in running consistency but once it becomes warm it will be in correct consistency (adding almonds makes it thick). Usual salna is served in running consistency so that the parotta gets soaked well.
