Bas Saaru[Avrebele sabbasitige soppu combination]

Since mom is from north karnataka, she didn't knew much "Bayalu seeme" recipes. She started learning them by collecting recipes from her friends.One such recipe is Bas Saaru.I got this recipe from her.

Gosh! It was awesome!!!. Last week I made this bassaru, palya and mudde, it turned out very tasty.Bassaru is prepared by using flat Bean daal cooked and drained water/ broth.

Bassaru and Palya is a combo and tastes great with Ragi mudde.

While preparing regular curries/Palya from pulses, we drain excess water and throw it out.
But the water contains double the protein content of wheat and three times that of rice. Pulses have significant nutritional and health advantages.
Bas Saaru is made out of drained out excess water to utilize its high protein value to maximum extent.
