My first Harivi soppu harvest from the ground patch !!

And yipeeeeeeee !!!

The first harvest of Harivi soppu/Amaranth from my patch !! These are not the volunteers. (I have a large patch of those in the backyard. I have had quite a few harvests from those already. And there's loads to come in the rains !) These are what I grew from seeds in the beds in my meshed portion.

I have grown both, red and green amaranthus this time, in my beds in the meshed portion. I just scatter the seeds through the beds and it's the survival of the fittest ! Thankfully most of them turned out to be fit and fine... :D :)

What a beautiful feeling !!!

Lost in the little jungles that my beds are slowly turning into, as i harvest my first batch of harivi soppu...






























This pictures gives you an idea of how big the leaves have grown.

The stalks though thick are tender and juicy. The upper half of the very thick ones got chopped along with the greens and the lower stalks will get planted into the beds again. Within a weeks time, they will sport new shoots...

Look at what a pretty shade of pink , the water in which I had placed the stalks, has taken on...

And tada ! Here's the harivi soppin pallya I made for lunch... The freshest and tastiest harivi soppu I've had !
And this time, instead of adding turdid khobbri/grated fresh coconut , I added shengdanyachi kooth/ roasted and crushed peanuts. That added a lovely crunchy twist...
