Keerai Kootu

                                           
                      I am new to this blogging world and this is my very first post. I am a silent follower of Rak's Kitchen and I love her blog a lot. I have tried many of her recipes and all are hit in my home. My first post is Keerai Kootu which I tried from Rak's Kitchen. Spinach kooty is a combination of spinach with dal. It is nice sidedish for hot rice with kara kulambu or sambar.






Ingredients:-
Keerai/Spinach 1 bunch
Moong dal/Paasi paruppu 1/2 cup
Sambar powder 2 teaspoon
Salt as needed
Turmeric powder 1/8 teaspoon
Cocunut 1/4 cup
Rice flour 1 teaspoon
Jeera 1 teaspoon
Oil 2 teaspoon
Mustard 1 teaspoon
Jeera 1 teaspoon
Onion 1/4 cup


Cooking Instructions:-
         
               1. Cut spinach into pieces. Boil a cup of water, add turmeric powder, salt, 

sambar powder and cut spinach.

               2. Pressure cook moong dal and add it to spinach after it is cooked well. Stir the

spinach and dal well. 
        
               3. Gring cocunut, rice flour and water well.

               4. Add the grinded cocunut to spinach and dal.

               5. Let it boil for sometime till it reaches the desired consistency.

               6. Do tempering by adding oil, mustard, jeera, urad dal followed by onion.

               7. Serve with hot rice. We can also have kootu with chapathi.





                          I am sending this recipe to Walk Through Memory Lane event by Gayathri's CookSpot hosted by Shruti's Rasoi.
