Sabbasige soppu / Sabsige soppu was very new to me until I come to Bangalore. My friends and neighbors here buy this soppu/ Keerai/ greens often. They add it along with coriander leaves in most of the dishes like instant idli, paddu/ paniyaram, akki roti, instant dosa varieties etc. Its very good for lactating mothers after pregnancy. I tasted this dill leaves in Iyengar bakery masala bun for the first time and started loving its flavor. Then I tried a palya/ poriyal/ dry curry with dill leaves but my family didn't like its flavor. It became a flop in my house. So I stopped buying it. Recently when I was looking for sago idli / sabbaki idli (recipe coming up next week) in a YouTube channel, dill leaves were added to the idli. It gave a nice and unique look to the idli. So after a long time, I bought a small bunch of dill leaves again and tried this dill leaves dal and sago idli with it.  This dal recipe is of North Karnataka / Uttara Karnataka style sabsige soppu saaru with toor dal.
