Ponnanganni
Keerai is called as “Dwarf Copperleaf” in English is a green variety available
throughout the year. The name “Ponnanganni” means glow like gold. It is loaded
with iron, calcium and other vital nutrients that make our hair and skin glow.
When Ponnanganni is taken for a period of 48 days regularly, it heals our body
of all kinds of deficiency and reduces the body heat, as it is an excellent
body coolant. Ponnanganni is specifically recommended for eye ailments, asthma,
gonorrhoea, syphilis. Most of them avoid these types of greens, because they do
not know how to cook them or to use them. A very simple Ponnanganni keerai poriyal/stirfry included twice or thrice a week in our diet is a wonderful remedy to stay
healthy.
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. For now friends I am going to share this Ponnanganni Keerai Kootu, do
