Vegetable Sagu | Karnataka style Sagu For Set Dosa, Poori
Sagu is a famous preparation in Karnataka generally served with Set Dosa, Poori or Chapati. A simple to prepare, coconut based vegetable gravy, serves as a very delicious side dish. This has been my favorite side for set dosa and poori since my childhood especially when it's made by my mother. She makes it super yummy!
