Nool Kole / Navilu Kosu Saasive

Sasive is Mustard seeds based curry. It is very easy and yummy to have it with main dishes like plain rice, chapati, poori, dose, idli, rotti etc.

Nool kole is known as Navilu Kosu in Kannada/Karnataka/Indian

Sasive is one of the traditional dish from South Canara/Udupi, Malenaadu and some places in North Canara. Though there will be bit difference in preparing the healthy benefits are almost same.
I have used Nool Kole, beans, coconut, mustard seeds, ingh, cashew nuts, green chilly and little ginger.
