Mixed Vegetable Sagu is a very aromatic South Indian curry prepared using mixed vegetables and various flavours, all incorporated into one rich, spiced coconut-based gravy. Traditionally, this is served along with dosas, idlis, or puris, and it's a favourite in Karnataka and neighbouring regions. The creamy gravy mixed with the colourful combination of vegetables makes mixed vegetables sagu a delicious and filling meal at any time. The mixed vegetable sagu recipe begins with a saut of onions, ginger, and garlic in oil or ghee until fragrant. Add potatoes, carrots, peas, beans, and cauliflower to this pan of vegetables, cooking until the vegetables are tender. Finally, it creates the base of its curry by grinding coconut, green chillies, and spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel. The paste is mixed with vegetables to produce an aromatic gravy that dresses well the vegetables. The dish typically gets flavoured by combining various garam masala or sagu masala with a slight touch of tamarind and its sourness for a mild tang. Then, temper the curry with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and dry red chillies to give it another flavour dimension. A mixed vegetable sagu is a versatile dish that can easily be adapted to any vegetables you choose, so you can enjoy whatever is in season or available. You can serve this sagu with hot crispy dosas or soft idlis or as a part of a nice hearty meal with your family, which will be comforting and satisfying yet healthy and full of flavour.
