Upsaaru Khara | Spicy Red Chilli Curry Paste , is a spice curry paste made with dry red chilli , garlic , cumin seeds, tamarind and coriander leaves. Upsaaru means its a very simple curry which will be prepared either using this Khara / Spicy curry paste  or served curry accompanied with this khara. Its very popular in Mysore , Bangalore and Hassan region.

Khara means Heat/Spice in Kannada ,Upsaaru means Salted and saaru means curry. It is one of the most popular curry paste used in preparation of Upsaaru /Curry and also it is used as an accompaniment with various dishes like Thalipeeth , Akki Roti , Thepla and even Paratha.   

As this is a new recipe for people outside Karnataka ,there is a lot of demand for this curry paste in Gopi’s office. I often pack this curry paste in small jars for all his teammates. So there is an increasing demand for this recipe.
