salan tasting too salty, what to do???

I was trying to make achar gosht using laziza masala.
It ended up being way too salty. Is there any way to save the dish?
I really don’t think I should be serving it unless I make a rice dish out of it.

Kia kisi tareeqay say namak kam ho sakta hai? :frowning:
Or should I just let it convert to a brand new dish called achari qormqa salty biryani from lakhnao. :hmmm:

Now don’t ask where lakhnao came from. :naraz:

You may add some ingredients cooked separately to your dish...may dilute the salt...

PS: I think some special paper exists...when you put or dip it in the salan...the paper absorbs or extracts the extra salt...

Put some Atta (flour) in it

Put youghurt init ..and it kills the saltiness and also gives it a nice taste too ..and yes it does work ...aata can also be put but when aata is put then if its not properly mixed and equally put then there ll be lumps and when the salam is made you ll see the aata separately ..where as youghur will desolve ... tried and tested theory this is ..
