Basale soppu or malabar spinach is rich in iron and vitamin B complex. Here is the rare variety of red stem basale or kempu kaandada basale or basale balli.. This variety of malabar spinach is sweeter and tastier than regular green stem malabar spinach.. Good to cure pikes problem in pregnant women..
Like palak paneer basale soppina paneer bhaji is also prepared.. You can even use goli soppu instead.. Leaves are cleaned and cooked. Then blend with roasted spices and tomatoes and onions, green chilli, coriander leaves and tamarind. Bring to boil with salt, jaggery and kasuri methi and add paneer pieces .. Serve hot with chapati or dosa.. ( though eating pander and leaves together is not a good idea as iron absorption is lesser in the presence of dairy products.. Traditionally this has been a great recipe and this is the only way to make your kids eat green leafy vegetables nowadays!!)
