Manathakkali keerai soup (Solanum nigrum leaves soup)

Manathakkali keerai soup (Solanum nigrum leaves soup) - Preparation time 10 to 15 mins
Manathakkali is good to heat the ulcer. Mom used to ask us to chew the leaves raw and drink the juice extract of the leaves so that the mouth ulcer will get healed. Similarly taking raw grated coconut or coconut milk is also good to heal the ulcer. So i am going to use both manathakkali leave and fresh coconut for this soup.

Ingredients:-
Manathakkali leaves - 10 (medium size)
Grated coconut - tbsp
Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
Crushed pepper - 1/2 tsp
Cumin seed - 1 tsp
Toor dhal - 1 tbsp
Water - 2 cup
Salt - to taste
Sesame oil - 1/4 tsp
Lemon juice - 1/2 tsp

Preparation method:-
Pressure cook the toor dhal with water and mash to smooth paste. Mix one cup of water to dhal and keep
In  a kadai add oil, cumin seed to splutter, chopped manathakkali leaves,turmeric, pepper and sortae for few mins. 
Add water and boil till the leaves are cooked and soft. Now add the toor dhal paste water.
When it starts boiling switch of the flame. In you hand take the grated coconut add little water and crush and juice into the boiled manathakkali soup and finally add the crushed coconut also.
This will be tasty and healthy healing soup. You can add grated and slightly fried vegetable like beans, carrot and cabbage to make it color full for kids.
