Green Peas Poriyal

 , , ,      3 comments   
Green peas are a wonderful source of nutrition. They are rich in protein and vitamins and that's why it is also one of the first foods given to babies. Apparently, 1/2 cup of cooked green peas has 4 times more protein than carrots! So green peas are a wonderful source of protein for vegetarians. They have a low glycemic index and green peas are rich in fiber too. There are many ways to cook the green peas, this kind of poriyal is a South Indian speciality and it goes very well with sambar or rasam rice.

Beetroot Poriyal | Beetroot Stir Fry

 , , ,      5 comments   
Beetroot is such a healthy vegetable and we love it at home! Even if you don't like this veggie, you have to find a way to include it in your diet since it's such a wonderful vegetable with so many health benefits! I make a lot of beetroot for my kids too and since I'm giving it to my kids who are 4 and 2 years old, I grate the vegetable so that it's easy for them to eat. You can chop the beetroot into small pieces and make this poriyal. I also make beetroot pulao for my daughter's lunch box. This poriyal goes very well as a side dish to rice.

Keerai Thandu Poriyal

 , , ,      No comments   
Keerai thandu poriyal is a stirfry made with only the stems of the keerai. I make a lot of keerai poriyal and my kids don't like eating the stems of the greens. So my maid suggested this recipe where you can cook the stems separately and make a poriyal out of it. The stems are already so tender so it cooks pretty well. I put it in the pressure cooker to make sure it was well cooked so that my kids will not fuss about it!

We made this recipe in a pressure cooker to save time! You can make it in a pan.

Keerai Poriyal | Greens Stirfry

Keerai Poriyal

 Keerai (or greens) is one of the most healthy green leafy vegetable full of iron and vitamins. It is essential to include keerai in our daily meals. As a child, I never used to eat greens but as I grew older I changed! 

 I remember, when I was little, my father's friend a naturopath, had come home and as he was giving us a diet chart, he asked my mum to include keerai 4 days a week! At that time, it was too much for me since I hated keerai! Now we regularly make keerai atleast 3-4 days a week, when it's available.

 You can make a keerai masiyal or make a poriyal with this vegetable. You can follow the same procedure for any of the keerai variety you find.

Siru Keerai Poriyal

 , , ,      2 comments   
Keerai is a staple in South Indian homes. Including any variety of keerai at least 3 days a week is very good for health. Siru Keerai is rich in iron, vitamins and fibre. 
You can make a masiyal or a poriyal with siru keerai. I usually make a masiyal with siru keerai or arai keerai but this time I decided to make a poriyal.
I make the poriyal slightly different and this makes it really tasty. Instead of using just grated coconut, I add some garlic and green chillies and then add it in which gives the keerai a unique taste.
