would to share a little about paruppuKeerai/Purslane/Verdolagas which I

very common in central Mexico. The stem, leaves and the beautiful yellow flowers of paruppu keerai/verdolagas
are all edible and have a slightly salty, slightly tangy and acidic flavor. The
slight tangy taste adds up great taste when we make soups and stir fries, and
its juicy leaves can be used to add texture to salads.
Purslane/Paruppu Keerai is very common around
world, in Mexican cuisine they are commonly paired with pork, tamales, stews
and eggs. In Japan it is commonly pickled and served with rice. In Russia,
Turkey and Lebanon it is used in a variety of salads ranging from tabbouleh to
potato salad. It has long been used in Chinese medicine. In South India, they are
cooked with dals, stir fries, soups etc. Paruppu Keerai/Purslane is rich in
potassium and magnesium. The soft, succulent leaves are rich in Omega -3 fatty
acids which help in lowering blood pressure and regulate cholesterol levels. This
wonderful green leaves are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals. It is
an excellent source of Vitamin A , C and some B-complex vitamins like
riboflavin, niacin, pyridoxine and carotenoids as well as dietary minerals such
as iron, magnesium, potassium and manganese. With this, I think it’s time for me

Thoothuvalai
Keerai [Solanum Trilobatum] is an excellent herb with numerous and amazing
health benefits. It is used in treating common cold, cough and to get rid of phlegm
in our chest. Thoothuvalai is basically a thorny creeper with purple flowers
and red fruits and grows really very fast. Thoothuvalai creeper has lots of
thorns in the leaves, so when your plucking it, you should be very careful. My
best advice is to use scissors when cleaning the leaves. Many recipes like
thoothuvalai kashayam, thoothuvalai rasam etc are made in many households. Thoothuvalai
is available in vegetable markets or from street vendors, but I pluck it from
my mom’s garden whenever I get a chance. For now, I am sharing Thoothuvalai
Keerai Chutney which is an excellent side dish for idlis and dosas. I know
Thoothuvalai is not available in most of the places, but if you come across or
