Instructions
Masala
Slightly fry ginger, garlic, green chilies and cloves (optional)
Blend them with rest of the ingredients and soaked poppy seeds to a smooth paste and keep aside.
Making Sagu
Boil or pressure cook all the chopped vegetables but do not over cook them. (1 whistle in the pressure cooker).
Heat oil in a pan, add mustard and cumin and let them splutter.
Add diced potato. (you can cook them along with other vegetables, But it tastes better when fried).
Once the potatoes are golden brown, add the cooked vegetables.
Add salt and the ground masala paste. Add 1/2 cup water and let it simmer for 5 mins.
Serve it with Dosa, idly, rava idly, or hot puris.
