Molake Saaru (Sprouted Black channa Rasam) and Mango Gojju


Sprouted Black Channa Rasam


Molake Saaru is very healthy and wholesome. Molake in Kannada translates to sprouts and Saaru is Rasam. This dish is a great way to get your daily dose of pulses.


You will need:


½ Cup Black Channa ( Black Ceci Beans)

1 medium potato cubed

2 cloves of Garlic

¾ cup Grated coconut

1 onion thinly sliced

1 tbsp Sambar powder

Salt to taste

Mustard seasoning

Curry leaves



























Soak black channa overnight and the next day drain and place in a warm place. This allows the channa to sprout. This takes a whole day again.


Boil the sprouted black channa with sufficient water in a pressure cooker along with the sliced onions and cubed potato. In a blender, place garlic, coconut gratings and sambar powder. Make a smooth thick paste. Add this to the boiled channa. Add salt and bring to a boil. Add curry leaves and let boil for atleast 10 mins. Serve hot with steamed white rice.




Mango Gojju


I came back armed with raw mangoes from my last trip to the International Farmers Market. I had to make the Mango Gojju which my Granny makes. Yummy and very unique indeed.


You will need:


1 large Raw mango

2 tbsps Peanuts

10-12 dry red chillies

1 tsp Mustard seeds plus ½ tsp

½ tsp Fenugreek seeds

Salt to taste

2 tsps Powdered Jaggery

A pinch turmeric powder

¾ cup Grated coconut

1 tsp Oil














Cut the mango as shown in the picture. Leave skins on. Bring water to a boil and add a teaspoon of salt and the mango pieces. Boil till mangoes are cooked through. Drain and keep aside.


Lightly toast the peanuts, fenugreek seeds, mustard seeds and the dry red chillies. After toasting the peanuts, rub them lightly to remove the outer skin which exposes the white insides. Place the toasted ingredients in a blender along with the grated coconut, turmeric, jaggery and sufficient water. Make a thick smooth paste.


Heat oil in a pan. Add the mustard seeds and when it begins to splutter add the ground paste. Saute for a minute and add the boiled mango pieces. Add salt to taste. Mix well and serve with hot rice and ghee.
