All of us are in the look out for good keerai recipes to impress our children as we find it difficult to give them. We all know its nutritional value and its importance in our menu. If this poriyal is prepared with care,I fee it can be given to children without much difficulty. we have to be changing the recipes often so that they don’t feel that they are being given the greens often. I find it difficult with my elder one in giving her keerai even now. It is time that she should have started giving it to her son.

The same poriyal can be prepared with other keerai like mulai keerai sirukeerai etc.Try out with the greens you get in your region and update.

Chopped onion-1/4 cup
