    what is the translation of “sage” into Telugu? Is it even available in India?

  6. madhoori Says:

    Hello Shruthi,
    Are u referring abt “Sago”?It is called saggubiyyam in telugu.But u said “Sage” is it a typo error.Hope that helps.
    Or is it “Sagu” that means a mixed vegetable curry as far as I know.
