my version is with hing, gr chillies and a spot of sugar in the pulses while it is being cooked and then phanna of mustard and curry leaves and my preferred vegetable is eithr potato or chayote squash. our kids eat it like soup with just a scoop of rice in it instead of the other way round! my aunt in Mangalore was sharing her childhood when they wer 14 children and the daily afternoon meals for children was a saarupkari made in a huge ‘kataar’ and part of the pulses would be set aside for the bendi masalu for the adults and how my aunt as a child would ask the ‘mayin’for that spicy dish instead of her saar-upkari!

Pelicano, Thanks a lot for your support. As you said, I cannot live without blender . It is a must in my kitchen .

I made this curry for dinner. My hubby wasnot feeling well, so I thot to make sth very simple, and the next reason is that my blender is dead now. I used chickpeas…he he…i actually cooked it and mashed it slightly. and the recipe was 22222222222 gud tat made me lick my fingers at t end. We need not have any side dish for such a curry. Very nice….and thanks a ton.

Yes Priya thats right. There are two varieties of peas available one is green and one is pale yellow. Both go well for this dish. You can also use other pulses mentioned. Let me know if you try this.

Rajasi, this was the first time I tasted this. And it tasted amazing. This is going to be a regular at my home hereafter.

Vini, Arjuna, Jaya, Please let me know if you try this.

Mai, as I have said in the above post, this is not the authentic way of making the normal saru-upkaris. But there may be many types of saru-upkaris depending on individual taste. I loved this dish and I suggest you also to try this dish. I am sure you will love this.

Aruna, I cannot tell you how happy I am to receive so many new recipes from you. I loved all your recipes and I thank you for the continuos support to this blog.
