Kale Stir-Fry | Kale leaves Poriyal

I generally love to have greens (keerai) in my meal every day. When I was in India, I love to have all varieties of keerai especially siru keerai (tropical amaranthus) poriyal. But it became tough for me to get the fresh greens here. I never even attempted to buy frozen foods which are packed from India. So I wanted to give a try with the greens which are available here. I tried to make poriyal with kale and it turned out awesome. I served it with the spicy garlic kuzhambu and with some vadams topped with a spoon of ghee. It tasted heavenly. Please do try this at home and let me know the reviews.

Chayote Kootu | Chow-Chow Kootu Recipe

I always love to make kootu. It can be made in just 10 mins or so. Amma gave a simplest recipe for making kootu. Put all the ingredients in a pressure cooker and finally temper it… the kootu is already in mins. I love to have it with plain rice, chapathi and dosai. This kootu will make u addictive when it is had with any kuzhambu along with pappad and steamed rice topped with ghee. I served it with karamani kuzhambu (Recipe Coming Soon) and steamed rice. Hummm!!! Delicious..

Appala Kootu Recipe

No one will hate the appalam. The crispness of it will make u too crave for another one.  You can always enjoy a meal when u has appalam on ur side. It makes an excellent combination for all the rice varieties and also with the kuzhambu and sambar we make. How it will be when this crispy appalam added to a kootu variety? Interesting!!!

I make this kootu when I don’t have any vegetables in my fridge.  Appala kootu along with kara kuzhambhu makes perfect combination for a week-end meal. I served it with seeraga kuzhambu (recipe coming soon).
