Masiyal is a smooth paste based curry made which can be made with tamarind sauce or without it. Vegetables used are yam and leafy vegetables viz. Colacasia leaves, Keerai, Palak etc. Today I tried with the Radish leaves and the same came out very well. This can be served with hot plain rice and good accompaniment for Curd rice also.
If I am lazy to cook or later from work, the Masiyal dish is one of the easiest dish for me to make as it takes hardly any time. The masiyal can be made in two ways one is with puli ie. tamarind and other is without tamarind. The Arakeerai and palak I make it without puli. Colacasia leaf and Senai i.e Yam if you are using, you must put tamarind otherwise you will have the itchy feeling.
So let us look at the recipe now:
