1 bunch spinach, cleaned

A small piece of puli

½ tsp kootu podi / sambar podi

Oil, mustard, urad dal, and a small piece of red chilli for tadka.

Method

  1. Wash and boil the spinach with the tamarind water, haldi, salt , and kootu powder. Bring to a boil, turn the flame to medium and cook for 6-7 mins on for the raw smell of puli etc to go. Cool for a bit.
  2. Mash well by hand using mattu or pulse it a couple of times in the mixie ( should not be too fine. There should be some texture to the keerai).
  3. Remove it into a bowl and top with tadka.
