Keerai Masiyal

 

I make keerai masiyal always on a weekend to give it to my daughter.. she loves this along with paruppu rice , Rasam or curd rice. 

Ingredients

Spinach –   6 to 7 cups

Salt – as per taste

Turmeric powder – 1 tsp

Grated coconut –  1/2 cup

Cumin –  2tsp

oil – 1tsp

mustard – 1tsp

urad dhal – 1tsp

dry red chilli – 1 or 2

Preparation

Wash and chop the spinach leaves. Cook the spinach leaves with turmeric , salt and little water. Use keerai mathu to mash it well. Grind coconut and cumin to a fine paste and add it to keerai. Allow it to cook for some more mins. Heat oil in another pan , add mustard seeds. Once it splutters , Add urad dhal and red chillis. Add the seasoning to keerai and serve hot.

-- You can also make this without coconut / cumin paste instead you can add cumin seeds while seasoning.

--  If you need to add more spice , add 1 red chilly and grind it along with coconut / cumin
