Saagu is a most popular and familiar dish of Karnataka. Saagu is gravy which goes out well for breakfast as side dish for Idly, Poori and Dosa. After coming to Bangalore, I had this Saagu with Rava Idly in Adigaaรขโฌโขs and from that I have been a great fan for their Rava Idly pairing with Saagu and Curry leaves Chutney.
