Monsoon Is the time, when my garden is filled with greens and I make use of all the goodness that mother nature is offering to us. Ganike soppu is a widely known herb by many regional names like Ganike or Kakke soppu in Kannada, Manathakkali keerai in Tamil. Botanical name is Solanum Nigrum which is originated in South Africa and commonly known as Black nightshade.
It is a medicinal herb and very good for stomach ailments, is what I have head from my elders. Usually green leaves are used to make Tambli and it is believed that, it is a remedy for menstrual cramps as well as stomach related discomforts.
This time I got a bumper harvest from wildly grown plants and tried to make kootu but without adding coconut. It is a sort of dhal cum sambar. We liked it and thought of sharing it with my readers as well.
Made some changes according to our requirement and enjoyed it thoroughly with hot rice as well as dosas.
