Pasalai keerai masiyal

Recent days I have been trying out varieties of Keerai masiyal and Keerai kadayal recipes for our lunch. Mostly I try to make a simple keerai masiyal or kadayal recipe without dal and coconut. I feel addition of dal or coconut gives more yield and tastes more like kootu but I wanted to consume more keerai. So I make it plain with simple tempering.

Recently I came across this Kongu style keerai masiyal without dal and coconut in Chef Deena’s YouTube channel. Actually they showed it with Panna keerai but I made it with pasalai keerai i.e Palak. It came out so well and tasty.

Friends, do try this simple and easy Coimbatore Kongu style Keerai masiyal recipe. You will love it like me.
