    Mixed Vegetable Saagu

    Published : Feb 5,2014 | Last Updated On : Feb 12, 2020 by Muktha Gopinath

    Jump to Recipe

    Mixed vegetable saagu is one of the most popular dish from south India. Vegetables like Carrot , beans , Potato , green peas and Knol Knol are used for making Saagu . Spices are blend along with fresh coconut , green chillies and fresh coriander leaves . This saagu is spicy and also has a mild sweet tone from cashews and Saunf / fennel seeds. Taste and methods of Saagu preparation is very similar to vegetable korma .

    Mixed Vegetable Saagu goes well with poori, rava idli, rava dosa , set dosa and also with steamed rice. If you have ever visited Darshini's of Bangalore , then you'll be definitely knowing about Saagu . I serve this along with Poori , Rava Idli or Set Dosa . It tastes really good ,also this measurements are perfect and fool proof recipe . Any beginner can do it easily without messing up with taste.

    You can prepare Mixed Vegetable Saagu for lunch during family/friends gatherings . Serve this to family and be prepared to get accolades from your loved ones. If you are looking for any South Indian Delicacy for gatherings , I personally suggest you to try Badanekayi Ennegayi | Stuffed Baingan with either Jowar Roti , Akki Roti or Bili Holige| Rice flour stuffed Paratha.

    Other delicious Side Dish recipes which may interest you are : Paneer Butter Masala , Palak Paneer , Chana Masala , Rajma Masala  and  Dry peas Methi Masala.
