SABSIGE SOPPU KOOTU

Being from Karnataka , i want ” Cook with Smile ” to be one stop destination for most of the Karnataka cuisine . So today i’ll share recipe of one more authentic Karnataka Dish ” Sabsige Soppu Kootu  ” ie Karnataka Style Dill Leaves Curry recipe . Kootu is basically coconut and lentil based curry with a peppery flavor .

Though its made throughout South India , recipe in each region is different . This dish is prepared in and around Bengaluru and Mysuru region. Kootu is a delicious alternate to sambar is packed with nutrients  and is easy to make.Tastes perfect with hot rice accompanied with some ghee . There are many types of different kootu i have shared before like Snake Gourd kootu , Pumpkin Kootu , Cabbage Kootu , Mixed vegetable kootu etc and today it’s another variety Sabsige Soppu Kootu .

In karnataka , dill leaves stir fry (without tuvar dal ) is one of the most common dish served to a new mom as its known to aid lactation .When i too was in that phase, almost daily i was served this sabzi along with pepper rasam and other dishes and not even 1 day i got bored eating it .. just enjoyed every bite if it … the aroma when fresh dill leaves are getting cooked itself is so tempting…

Hmm…. I love dill leaves ambode , dill leaves rotti , dill leaves idli etc Addition of dill leaves makes each dish very healthy , enhances the flavour and taste .

Similarly .. in this dish .. The combination of dill leaves, dal tastes and smells just wonderful. Without much talks , let’s get started with this easy recipe….

Few points to note while making Sabsige soppu kootu : 

  1. Instead of sabsige soppu ( Dill Leaves ) .. you can use mixed veggie or which ever is available
  2. Dont skip pepper  . It enhances taste .
  3. Typically tamarind is not added to this curry . however if you want can add little
