About Cheera curry

Cheera Curry is a traditional South Indian dish made from spinach (cheera), coconut, and aromatic spices. This nutrient-rich curry is rooted in Kerala cuisine, celebrated for its wholesome flavors and simplicity. The base is created by blending grated coconut, cumin seeds, and green chilies into a smooth paste, which is then simmered with sautéed spinach and tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and dried red chilies in coconut oil. Packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron and antioxidants, spinach plays a central role in promoting heart health, improving digestion, and strengthening immunity. Coconut provides healthy fats, while the tempered spices enhance digestion and add depth to the dish. While coconut oil and coconut milk are calorie-dense, they offer medium-chain fatty acids beneficial in moderation. Cheera Curry is a flavorful and nourishing choice for pairing with steamed rice or flatbreads.
