    Keerai Masiyal

    June 5, 2018 By Anlet Prince Leave a Comment

    Keerai Masiyal is an extremely nutritious and delicious dish to be served with rice or Rotis. I have prepared this with Arai Keerai. It can also be prepared with siru keerai and Palak keerai. But this dish tastes best with arai keerai. I dont prefer it with palak keerai. It can be served with rice and a dash of ghee. It also tastes great with rotis.

    • It can be prepared with any greens but it tastes best with arai keerai.
    • I have tried this recipe with sirukeerai and palak keerai. Siru Keerai was ok ok with taste and palak keerai i did not like the taste.
    • Serving with a dash of ghee increases the taste of the dish.
