About Arai keerai koottam

Arai Keerai Koottam is a nutritious South Indian dish made with arai keerai, a type of amaranth leaves, cooked with lentils, coconut, and subtle spices. Packed with essential nutrients, it is celebrated for its earthy flavors and wholesome qualities in Tamil cuisine. Arai keerai is rich in iron, calcium, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, promoting healthy digestion, bone strength, and improved immunity. Lentils in the dish are excellent sources of plant-based protein, making it a great option for vegetarians while coconut adds a natural creaminess and healthy fats that support heart health and energy. Typically seasoned with mild spices like cumin and mustard seeds, this dish is low in calories and free from artificial additives.
