Harive soppu bendi is a dish from Karnataka. It means amaranth leaves cooked in coconut broth. This curry includes very little spices yet it is very flavourful. Amaranth leaves cooked in coconut paste with cumin, and green chillies. Then simple South Indian style Tadka is poured over it. It is so simple but it is so delicious. it is normally served with steamed rice. I even like eating it with dosa and podi.
