Don't worry, this can usually be saved! If it's a salan or curry, add a little water or unsalted stock and cook a few more minutes, or add plain yogurt or a spoon of cream to soften the salt. You can also add more of the main things without salt: a boiled potato, extra onion and tomato masala, or more vegetables or chicken, so the salt spreads out. A squeeze of lemon or a pinch of sugar also helps balance it. For dry dishes, serve with plain rice, roti or raita on the side. Taste again before adding anything else.
