Mixed Vegetable Sagu Recipe | Saagu Recipe

1. Choice of Vegetables: I have used the regular veggies like carrot, beans, peas and potato. But we can also add veggies like Chow Chow (Chayote squash), bottle gourd, cauliflower
2. Spices to Grind: We can add roasted gram along with other grinding ingredients. We can also add mint and coriander leaves while grinding. Poppy seeds helps to get richer and thicker gravy. We can also use cashews in place of poppy seeds
3. Instant Pot Cooking: We can make this mixed vegetable Sagu in an Instant Pot. First prepare the grinding masala and set aside. Then we need to switch on the instant pot in sauté mode and sauté the vegetables. Finally close the IP with lid and switch on the pressure cook mode. Cook for 5 mins in sealed position and do a quick pressure release and serve the delicious vegetable Sagu
