Mixed Vegetable Sagu or Saagu, once we call is really a famous combination in the morning varieties like Set dosa and Poori and it is offered in the majority of the darshinis and hotels in Karnataka.My personal favorite combination is by using Set dosa and infact Set dosa-Sagu is my preferred breakfast and wouldn't miss to buy it within my favorite darshinis after i visit Bengaluru. This not just tastes scrumptious but it's also a great way to add vegetables throughout the the morning meal. Saagu tastes very different in the Mixed Vegetable Kurma though we discover the components tend to be similar.

a number of chopped Coriander leaves,optional
- Heat a teaspoon of oil inside a kadai/pan and add eco-friendly chillies and fry them, but be cautious because the whole eco-friendly chillies might burst.You may make a little slit if you wish to avoid bursting.Add cinnamon,marathi moggu and cloves into it and fry for sometime.

Serve hot with Poori or chapathy or Set dosa or Atukula dosa .
- You may also add vegetables like cabbage, knol-khol to saagu. My sister suggests to include even add beetroot however i usually don't add it as being it changes the colour of saagu, but you can include in planning the red colorization sagu.
- Adding Khus-khus is optional however it adds a pleasant richness towards the gravy.You may also add cashewnuts if you would like.
- This sagu could be slightly green due to the use of eco-friendly chillies and coriander within the recipe.If you would like so that it is red colored, skip eco-friendly chillies and coriander within the recipe and add red chillies and tomato while grinding the paste.Also, replace fresh lemon juice with tamarind pulp in the finish.
