The Keerai Masiyal Recipe is a simple wholesome recipe that you can make with any kind of greens. like Arai Keerai or Thandu Keerai or Amaranth Greens or Beet Greens or Radish Greens or Spinach Greens. The recipe of Keerai Masiyal is a favorite recipe among South Indians and served most often along with Sambar, Rasam and another vegetable for lunch.I like to leave mash it with a masher as thats how my mom made it and my memories only crave for that. Whichever way you wish to serve, the Keerai Masiyal Recipe brings out the flavors of the greens and also delicious taste from the subtle spices.

Spinach is also one the many green leafy vegetables that have been recommended by nutritionist over the years to avoid the risk of developing diabetes.

The recipe just used basic flavors from cumin, mustard, curry leaves and asafoetida and not to miss the roasted urad dal that adds to the crunch of the Keerai Masiyal.
