Pasalai keerai masiyal

Spinach, Pasalai keerai in Tamil  and Palak in Hindi is a well known leafy vegetable. Spinach has a high nutritional value and is extremely rich in antioxidants, especially when fresh, steamed, or quickly boiled. It is a rich source of vitamin A , vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, magnesium, vitamin B2, calcium, vitamin B6, folic acid and omega-3 fatty acids.

Pasalai keerai masiyal is a common keerai recipe in south Indian household. Here is my way of doing it.

Notes:

  • Do not grind the spinach mixture completely. It should not be like a paste. Use PULSE option in your blender if available.
