There are many varieties of tambli/ tambuli recipes. This type of dish can be prepared very easily and takes less time to prepare. It is good way to include green leafy vegetables to your diet. Like Brahmi, Malabar spinach/Basale, Doddapatre are some of the leafy vegetables you can use to make Tambli’s. Usually whenever I buy Malabar spinach, I prepare Malabar spinach Koddel (curry for rice), Tambli, or Stir fry along with raw banana.

Firstly, ‘Basale Soppu’ in Kannada means Malabar spinach. Basale Soppina Tambli / Malabar Spinach Raita is an healthy dish to serve along with rice. Tambli word is derived from ‘Tampu’ refers to cool and ‘huli’ refers as sour. Tampu Huli became Tambuli. This dish is cool to our body, and Tambli’s are good for digestion too. Good amount of buttermilk is added so it makes our body cool.
