About Arai keerai kootu
Arai Keerai Kootu is a nutritious South Indian dish made with arai keerai (a type of amaranth greens), moong dal (yellow lentils), coconut, and a blend of aromatic spices. Originating from Tamil Nadu cuisine, this wholesome side pairs well with rice and contributes to a balanced meal. The greens are rich in fiber, iron, vitamins A and C, and essential antioxidants, making them excellent for digestion, immunity, and overall health. Moong dal adds plant-based protein and supports heart health, while freshly grated coconut provides healthy fats and a touch of sweetness. Typically cooked with minimal oil and no artificial additives, Arai Keerai Kootu is known for being light, easy to digest, and packed with nutrients. However, moderation is key for those watching fat intake due to the coconut content. This traditional dish showcases the goodness of local produce in a flavorful, health-conscious way.
