Turkey and Lebanon it is used in a variety of salads ranging from tabbouleh to

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

Thoothuvalai Keerai Chutney/Thoothuvalai Keerai Chutney Recipe/Thoothuvalai Keerai Recipe with step by step photos
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
get a chance, then do try to make some chutney and reap the benefits of the
same. Meanwhile, do check out other interesting and tempting chutney varieties here.
