About Keerai parupu kootu
Keerai Parupu Kootu is a wholesome South Indian dish that combines nutrient-rich greens with protein-packed lentils. Originating from Tamil cuisine, it features tender spinach or amaranth leaves, cooked with toor dal (split pigeon peas), and flavored with aromatic spices like cumin and turmeric along with a touch of coconut for texture. This dish is traditionally served as part of a balanced meal, alongside steamed rice or flatbreads. Packed with dietary fiber, iron, and essential vitamins from the greens, it supports digestion and overall health, while the lentils provide plant-based protein and energy. Turmeric adds anti-inflammatory benefits, and the minimal use of fats keeps it heart-healthy. However, moderation is key with coconut and salt to avoid excess saturated fats or sodium. Keerai Parupu Kootu is a delicious, nutrient-dense option for those seeking a flavorful addition to their diet.
