Welcome Hello Dileesh, Welcome to IL. You will enjoy here. Also, your uppusaru recipe sounds really good. I had a recipe from one of my Karnataka friend which was very similar to this. She also added dill greens to it. Unfortunately, I have lost that recipe and will now try out your saru. Thanks for the same. Nice to have you aboard! L, Kamla
Hello Kamla, Thanks for ur reply. Yes , your friend is right you can add dill greens,it will be more tasty.Instead of haramoong(hesarubele) you can also use blackeyepeas or alasandekalu.

Bas saaru Ingredients: Hara moong (Hesarukalu)-1cup Toordal(togaribele)-1/2cup Garlic-1 whole big(1/2 for roasting and 1/2required as raw) Onion-1big(same as above) Tamarind-lemon size Coconut freshly grated-1/2cup Curryleaves(karibevu)-2sprig Sarinapudi-1tbsp For tadka: Ghee/oil-2tsp Onions finely chopped-2tsp Garlic cloves-4-5(as many as you wish) Mustard-1tsp Method: First cook dal and moong in a cooker with sufficiant water for 2 whistles,then leaveit to cool. Now roast 1/2 onion and 1/2 garlic along with skin, in a open flame on a hob with skewers.After roasting remove the skin and chop roughly.Now grind coconut,tamarind,1/2raw onion and garlic,1/2roasted onion and garlic,1tbsp of cooked dal and moong, sarinapudi into a fine paste by adding little water.Separate the water from cooked dal and moong and keep aside.Now put tadka of ghee, mustard, onion ,garlic untill little black, then add grind masala to tadka and fry for 2 minutes, then add curryleaves along with stem(this gives nice aroma to saaru).After 2 minutes add dalwater and allow to boil for 10minutes in sim flame, add salt to taste.
