- Assorted vegetables cut small (potatoes, cauliflower, carrot, green peas)
- Cinnamon
- Cumin seeds
- Green chilies
- White poppy seeds (gasagase in Kannada or khus-khus)
- Garlic
- Grated coconut or decicated coconut powder
- Bengal gram (kadale beLe, soaked in water)
- Clove

Parboil the vegetables and keep aside. Make a fine paste by grinding all the above ingredients except vegetables. Add the paste to parboiled vegetables, add salt and bring the mixture to boil. Saagu is ready!!! A perfect side dish for poori, chapati or tortillas. Yet another "Mom's recipe" which I tried last weekend and was happy with the results.
