Today I have a winner recipe in side dish.This gravy has every thing one would expect form a recipe,it is healthy,low in fat(only 2 teaspoons oil),has an very appetizing color and flavor,thanks to the generous use of coriander leaves and ginger.We were amazed by the taste and flavor of this simple recipe.Yes indeed a very simple recipe for this rich look and taste.I adapted the recipe for 100 vegetarian gravies-Mallika Badrinath and changed the ingredients as per availability and choice.No one even believe it is vegan,the color and creaminess comes from roasted gram and makes this irresistibly tasty.I highly recommend you all to try this :)Mixed vegetable sagu recipe
