Tomato saaru recipe - Curry is known as saaru in South Karnataka. This is an easy curry recipe which can be prepared very quickly. This is a staple gravy of that region which is served with hot rice. To make such saaru, some people make curry powder called saarina hudi at home. This powder is very handy and busy moms can prepare and store it to use as and when required. This saarina hudi is also available in the grocery store. To make this saaru coconut is an essential ingredient. Instead of saarina hudi, I have used fresh spices which is also gives fresh fragrance to the curry. Tomato saaru tastes great when accompanied with hot rice, papad, chutney and pickle.
