Palak Keerai Kootu - Pasalai Keerai Kootu - Priyavijaykitchen Recipe 02
Palak Keerai in tamil , Spinach in english , Palakura in telugu Palaka in kannada has a very high nutritional value and is rich in antioxidant. Also good source of vitamin B, C, E and potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium etc.,
Is it okay to ignore such a healthy stuff ? Never, we should not . We must take Spinach atleast twice a week. Yes, I understand cleaning keerai is a time consuming job, yet we must look into the health benefits it have. Many people not aware that coriander leaves, curry leaves are also one kind of keerai varieties. If it’s not possible to make any keerai recipes just prepare recipes (chutneys) using coriander leaves and curry leaves.
Palak Keerai Kottu, we used to make this recipe at least once in a week. My mom used to make keerai kottu in different way. I learnt this method from my sister in law.
Recipe Overview: – Used Palak Keerai in combination with moong dal and spice powders. Finished off by adding coconut and seasoned with mustard seeds, urad dal & curry leaves.
Here I prepared using palak keerai, you can replace it with other keerai varieties as well. Also used moong dal, you can use Toor dal or combination of both.
Okie, now let’s see how to prepare Palak Keerai Kottu.
