The name of this green leafy vegetable is kiriksali soppu or tiraksali soppu in local language. The vegetable vendor in sunday local market introduced me this first time. I asked many of my friends regarding this but got different views. This resembles rajgiri soppu and is a variety of amaranth leaves or bili harive.
If you know more about this please do share.. Definitely this is good source of iron and vitamins. I have combined the clean choppings with green peas. Like any bhaji add onion, tomato, garlic, mustard, cumin, green chilli, salt and coconut gratings and cook well. Other day I prepared the bhaji of these leaves with soaked greengram. That is also a good combination. Idea is to combine vitamins and iron with proteins. Ultimately when we eat with rice or chapati ( source of carbohydrate) it turns out to be complete food with all nutrients.
