Araikeerai/Amaranthus Tristis, like any other green is loaded with iron, calcium, anitoxidants and other vitamins and minerals. Araikeerai is an excellent remedy for cold, cough, immunity and builds strength in our body. It is said to play a vital role in helping people suffering from neuritis/nerve related problems. I have read in one of the Ayurvedic books which states that, if araikeerai is included in our diet everyday it helps in curing long term diseases like cervical spondylosis, nerve pain, head ache, migrane etc. For this a very strict diet containing araikeerai kadaiyal and pepper rasam has to be followed every day. [Ref from Book: Nattu Moolikaigal by Dr. Venkatesan]. With this short note let us move on to the recipe. Do not forget to try this araikeerai puli kadaiyal and post your feedback here.

Method

Wash and clean the araikeerai thoroughly and keep it aside.


Add green chillies, onion, tamarind, salt, 1 to 1 ½ cup of water to the keerai and let it cook.



When keerai is cooked well, switch off the stove and let it cool down completely.


I blended the contents in the mixer, if you have kal chatti you transfer the contents to kalchatti and use the matthu and smash everything really well.


Heat oil in small kadai, add the ingredients mentioned for tempering and add it to the mashed araikeerai 


Adjust the salt as per your requirement, if you have thalippu vadagam you can add it when tempering which will give added taste to the dish.


Yes, delicious and healthy araikeerai puli kadaiyal is ready to be enjoyed, serve it hot with a cup of white rice.
