Sasive

Karnataka mustard-yogurt sauce — a coarse paste of freshly grated coconut, mustard seeds, dried red chilli, and jaggery ground together and stirred into yogurt. Served as a cold, sharp, tangy side with raw banana, yam, or cucumber, especially in Mysore and Coorg households. The mustard seeds give it a distinctive pungency and the jaggery a subtle sweetness unlike any other South Indian raita.
