Keeraimasiyal / spinach masiyal is cooked, mashed and seasoned spinach. Keerai Kadayal. I usually make this masiyal without dal - just cook the spinach, mash and season it
Palak KeeraiMasiyal is one among the very nutritious dish & has a special place in Indian cooking. It has a unique taste & this masiyal goes well with rice as well as rotis / chapattis
But,here in United states, we are getting very few Indian varieties greens like spinach, mustard greens, gongura leaves (Kenaf leaves / pulicha keerai), drumstick leaves
I had got this bunch of arai keerai, a type of greens like spinach and mustard greens. I had wanted to do the Keerai Masial and rice, but my daughter didn't want to have rice that day
This is one type of keerai recipe from my Amma's kitchen which I enjoyed from my childhood. Spinach or any greens are winter vegetables which is fresh and full of nutrition in that season
Mathri is a deep fried savoury snack usually made of All-purpose flour and spices. It can be kept fresh in air tight containers for days, and hence it makes a perfect snack with tea and Coffee
I've already posted one recipe for keerai kadaiyal with minimum ingredients. U may also grind the greens after the seasoning part, I like grinding the seasoned vadagam in keerai kadaiyal
Most of the time I make keerai kootu or Keerai Sambar. I love to try different versions of Dosa. After Spinach Ada I wanted to try Spinach dosa for quite sometime
And he is the one who suggested me to do Keerai/Spinach Pongal. Make your brunches special with this easy to make and simply delicious Keerai/Spinach Pongal with Murrugakkai/Drumstick Sambhar

I love arai keerai (Amaranthus, Kale) a lot compared to other greens… My mom used to prepare this masiyal, to add greens in my diet from my childhood, even now
