Karbeva saru,Curry leaves soup

As promised I’m going to focus more on Konkani cuisine this year and will try to post as much as I can.This is an authentic saru prepared in most of the Amchi homes. My sister Shan prepares this often and is the most favourite saru of my daughter.This saru goes best with rice and papad. I adapted this recipe from Jaya V Shenoy’s book recommended by my sister.This recipe is definitely a keeper.This saru can be relished  like a soup also.There are many varieties of saru which I will share the recipe as  and when I prepare the same.This saru is filled with the aroma of curry leaves and aromatic Indian spices.
