Plain Kadaintha Keerai

        Plain Kadaintha Keerai is very good and ideal, even for infants,also for kids and adults. Full of iron, this can be mixed with plain rice, ghee and given for kids.

        This is the best combination with Vathakuzhambu or Karakuzhambu.The Keearai has to be mixed with plain rice and Kuzhambu.It tastes like Amirtham or Divine food.

     Sunda Keerai, made out of simmering a mixture of Keerai and Kuzhambu is very popular in Tirunelveli District and simply perfect with Curd Rice.

Ingredients :

Chopped and cleaned Arai Keerai   3 cups.
Garlic Pods   2- 4, Salt.

2. Stir in between and add Garlic in the end.The Keerai gets cooked in 5 minutes. Switch off.When hot mash with salt using Keerai Mathu.

3. If blended in a mixer, cool and blend with salt for 30 seconds, preferably using the whipper button.
