Ponnanganni Keerai is called as “Dwarf
Copper Leaf” in English and is available throughout the year. The name “Ponnaganni”
means glow like gold. It comes two different varieties one with green leaves
are called “Nattu Ponnanganni” and the Red ones are called “Seemai Ponnanganni”.
It is loaded with iron, calcium and other vital nutrients that make our skin
glow. It is an excellent body coolant and reduces body heat when consumed for a
period of 48 days. It can be consumed either as ponnaganni keerai poriyal or
kootu or even as kuzhambu. Ponnanganni oil/thailam is very famous in Tamil Nadu
and is used for treating headaches and also for treating excessive body heat
during the summer months. Do try out the Green/Nattu Ponnanganni Keerai Poriyal I have posted earlier and check out other interesting Keerai Recipes here and different types of Keerai Varieties in Tamil & English with photos. Tamil Recipe in the Video.
