Well.........I always used to think, there is just one method to make Keerai masiyal. I tasted this yummy Keerai masiyal in a restaurant in Pondicherry. Then my friend , who hails from Andhra, taught me this recipe...I learnt this method of adding some tangy twist to it.
This method is very good because, it can be used as an accompaniment for a south indian meal, and can also be mixed with rice and eaten. It proves to be very ideal for chapathies too.

ReplyDeleteCountry style kitchens are warm, casual, comfortable and welcoming. The cabinets are usually painted, but oak and pine are popular too. Distressed cabinets are right to home in the country kitchen, as are glazed but it is more rustic in nature. There are many different types of country-French, English, Cottage, Farmhouse, European.

ReplyDeleteMany people are attempting to eat only organic, locally grown produce for this reason. While this may be an improvement over the nutritional value of the standard American diet, it is nearly always much more expensive and therefore unaffordable for many and unavailable for others as most markets do not focus on obtaining such products. So this effort, while valiant is still not enough. Real food enthusiast blog
