Notes
- If you are doing just the dill leaves stir fry from the scratch using: Dill leaves / sabsige soppu - 2 big bunch and Tuvar dal - 1/ 4 cup
- If you are doing just the stir fry from scratch, add chopped dill leaves to the tempering. Saute for 2-3 mins, add little water, close and cook. Once the greens are 75 % cooked, add cooked dal, salt and mix well. Finally, add grated coconut.
- When doing from scratch, the addition of tuvar dal is optional but recommended. It gives a nice volume and taste.
- Adding garlic is optional. If you are a lactating or expecting mom, dill leaves and garlic combo is very much recommended.
- If making for new lactating mom, avoid using dal as it may cause gas in newborn babies.
- Be careful while adding salt. it doesn't take much.
