Saru is a very basic,easy and loved by all dish.My dad can eat rice and saru any time,he just loves it.
Mostly kids love it .when you are fed up of eating all spicy,masala food ,Anna and Saru will satisfy you like anything.In all the functions in Karnataka(specialy mangalore) the eating of rice starts with Saru.

saru preparation:
First cook Toor dal in 2 cups of water(water is taken more) in pressure cooker.many of them use only the dal water (after the toor dal is cooked ,the water only) which we call dal cutt.but i add little dal with this water too.

Take a deep bottom pan,add tamarind paste,dal with water,tomato puree,salt,turmeric powder,jaggery and green chili.bring to boil and let it boil for 3 minutes.now add rasam(saru)powder and allow it boil for 5 more minutes.


In other small pan take ghee,add all seasoning and when mustard start to splutter add the seasoning on the saru.some instead of hing put garlic pieces,but for this perticular tomato saru i like hing.switch off and garnish this with fresh chopped coriander leaves.serve this hot plain Rice along with Kara(spicy)Hapla,sendige(papad) and ghee.
