Looks lovely, My friend makes something similar to this but with green gram and she adds milk to it…
Loved this authentic palya recipe
Looks delicious dear…..Will try out these recipes 🙂

Wow Latha, I love this recipe. I make this all the time, except for the saaru I don’t add onions. BTW, isn’t it painful to boil the horsegram. It seems to take forever.
I was thinking how come Latha has not yet posted about RCI!!:) and it’s right here:)
great spread Latha, and now I’m eagerly waiitng for the ganesh chaturthi roundup!!! can’t wait for all those sweets!!!:D

Healthy and delicious recipe..
My granny used to make something like this. But I’ve never tried it before. Your pic of hot bas palya is making my stomach rumble.
thanks a lot, i was fed up making ordinary bella sara and other dal sambars. my wife had refused to give recipe of bus sara thinking that it will be difficult for me to prepare it . but you have provided this reciepe thanks a lot for your website because at present i am staying far away from my family due to my transfer but from website i am happy to some extent my mother and wife are together to help me in preparing my favourite karnataka recipes. carry on your good activities like this in future also
hi,
i stumbled on ur blog when i was searching for a recipe for bas saaru. I just wanted to make a correction. The recipe you have here is for “Upp Saaru” and not “Bass saaru”.
I am a Gowda and Bass saaru and upp saaru used to be my staple food .
Thanks for the reciepe….now am goign to try this today but with bengal gram…my friend, sushma does this real well and she does it with black eyed bean…i guess any of the lentils can be used for the same.
Thanks a lot. I have used it twice and both times it turned out great. My wife is impressed!
