KEEREAI MASIYAL

Keerai masiyal is made with the chawli leafy vegetable available in the market.  An easy preparation, healthy subzi which goes along with rice especially curd rice.  I love to eat this curd rice, mango pickle, awesome it is.  Does not require spice at all.

It is known as Amaranth leaves, cow pea leaves, Chawli ka patta, chawli bhaji.  Amaranth is a popular green leafy vegetable grown all over India.  It is usually short lived, with erect and fleshy stems with green leaves.
It is available in two varieties i.e. one is red in colour and other one is green.

Regular intake prevents the deficiency of vitamins A, B1, B2 and C, Iron and potassium.  It protects against defective vision and respiratory infections.  It is a natural tonic in conditions like bleeding of gums, nose, lungs, piles and excessive mensturation.

You can make molagootal also with this.
