Here's a short video on how to make Arai Keerai Poriyal

Method

Clean the keerai by removing the roots. Add 1 tsp of rock salt and soak in water for about 20-30 minutes. Wash at least 3 times to get rid of any soil left and drain the water completely.

Chop it finely with the stem and keep it aside.

Heat oil in kadai and splutter  cumin seeds,  add urad dal and let it change to light golden color.

Now add dry red chillies and then add chopped onions, little salt and mix well.
Let the onions turn translucent.

Now add the chopped keerai and stir it well. Add needed salt and mix well.

Sprinkle little water and let the keerai cook. The keerai will shrink and cook in about 2-3 minutes. Stir well and cook until done.

Finally add grated coconut, after the water is evaporated ,mix really well and switch off the stove.

Healthy and delicious Arai keerai poriyal is ready to be enjoyed. Serve it with rice and dal or you can eat this by mixing with rice and ghee.

  1. முளைக்கீரை மசியல் சூப்பர். நல்ல ருசியான இளம் கீரையை சீரகம் சேர்த்து மஸித்துக்கொள்ளணும்.

    வெங்காயம் அல்லது முருங்கைக்காய் வற்றல் குழம்பு சாதத்தில், நல்ல எண்ணெயை ஊற்றிப் பிசைந்து, இந்த முளைக்கீரை மசியலைத் தொட்டுக்கொண்டு சாப்பிட தேவாமிர்தமாக இருக்கும்.

    பாராட்டுக்கள். ருசியான பகிர்வுக்கு நன்றிகள்.
