    Pyaz Ka Salan

    My Mirchi ka Salan is such a family favourite, so i use the same salan base and add different vegetables in them and make different salan recipe. This is my third recipe, pyaz ka salan. Delicious and yummy recipe.

    This is made with small baby onion, it gives nice flavour and taste to the whole salan. The main thing about any salan is you have to cook till oil floats on top. It makes it look more appealing and tasty.

      Chillies are mentioned in the method but not in the ingredients nor in the pictorial. Are they fresh green chillies or dried ones?
