About Keerai kootu
Keerai Kootu is a traditional South Indian dish made from nutrient-rich leafy greens like spinach or amaranth, cooked with moong dal (split yellow lentils) and flavored with a blend of spices, coconut, and aromatic tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves, and chilies. Originating from Tamil cuisine, this wholesome dish is packed with fiber, iron, folate, and protein, making it an excellent addition to a balanced diet. The use of minimal oil and the combination of greens and lentils supports digestion, boosts immunity, and aids in maintaining energy levels throughout the day. Typically enjoyed with rice or flatbreads, Keerai Kootu is a low-calorie dish suitable for vegetarians and those following heart-healthy diets. While it is generally a nutritious option, the addition of coconut can slightly increase its fat content, so portion control is recommended for individuals monitoring fat intake.
