Aloo Bombay Sagu

This aloo (potato) sagu is mostly known as Bombay sagu in South India. This people's favourite sagu is served with rava idli and poori in the restaurants. However, it is good with chapatis and rotis too.

You need:

  2. Onions - 2
  3. Tomato - 1-2

  9. Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
  10. Jeera/Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
  11. Garam masala powder - 2 tsp
  12. Oil
  13. Salt

All you need to do is:

  1. Cook Potatoes in a pressure cooker. Mash and keep it aside.
  2. Take a pan, put oil, mustard seeds, jeera, chopped ginger and green chillies, curry leaves and onion. Saute well.
  3. Add tomatoes, garam masala powder, cooked potatoes, salt and a little water.
  4. Now take gram flour in a small bowl and add a little water to make paste.
