Keerai, Heavenly Keerai
Let me today start with one of my most favorite pastime - cooking Keerai - the greens that all health-docs advise you to eat daily.
Purchase a kattu, it should cost you just 3 Re or 5. Cut off the roots 1 inch from the bottom and remove all unwanted "pul" etc. Wash thoroughly three or four times in running water, and cut the keerai.Take a kadai, add some water and then the keerai. Let it cook over a small fire.
Add three long pachchai milagai slit vertically. Add a teaspoon of manjal podi. Let it boil for 5 minutes. Add a small teaspoonful of salt and allow to boil for some more time. Add a little perunkayam. Just before shutting the fire, add a pinch of jeerakam and remove from the fire.
Take a ladle of keerai, mix with steaming rice and a liberal dose of desi ney - can you ask for anything more heavenly
