Method

Clean the Mulai Keerai and take the stem/stalk part alone. You can make Mulai Keerai Poondu Masiyal with the leaves. Wash the stem and chop them to half inch thickness and keep it aside.

Heat 2 tsp oil in a kadai, splutter mustard seeds, then add cumin seeds, split urad dal and fry for 20-30 secs.  Now add dry red chillies, curry leaves and fry for another 30 seconds.


 Add shallots/sambar onions and fry until they turn translucent.


Now add the washed and chopped keerai thandu to the onions and give a stir. Add required amount of salt and sauté for about a minute or two.


 Now add little water for the keerai thandu to cook, it will take roughly about 5-7 minutes for the stem to cook.



Once all the water is absorbed and the thandu has cooked, add the freshly grated coconut. Give a good stir until all the coconut is mixed thoroughly and then switch off the stove.


Ta da !! Lovely, simple and healthy Keerai Thandu Poriyal is ready to be enjoyed.
