TWO VEGETABLE SAGU

This Particular type of sagu is one of most favourite. For aromatic masala I use only Cinnamon stick and the vegetables used are french beans & chayote squash (seeme badanekayi). Earlier I have also made sagu using only seeme badanekayi/chayote squash. It goes well with Chapati, Phulka, Poori or even with hot steaming rice. Since we are using only two vegetables, it is quick and easy to make. You can also check other kinds of sagu here in my blog like simply veg Kofta curry/Sagu kofta curry , green sagu , mixed vegetable sagu , seeme badanekayi/chayote squash sagu , Potato/aloo sagu and one more very useful and quick sagu recipe, using the quicker cooking method ie….. QCM – mixed vegetable sagu . Besides this recipe I have also tried making majjige paldya/majjige huli using the same set of vegetables and I shall share the recipe of the same very soon.
