About Keerai rice

Keerai Rice, a vibrant dish from South Indian cuisine, combines the goodness of leafy greens (keerai) with nutrient-rich rice to create a wholesome and flavorful meal. Typically made with spinach, amaranth, or other locally available greens, the dish is sautéed with aromatic spices, garlic, and onions, infusing the rice with deep, earthy flavors. Packed with vitamins A, C, and iron from the greens, it promotes immunity, eye health, and improved blood circulation. The dish often incorporates ghee or oil, lending a rich texture, while crushed lentils or tempered spices boost its protein and fiber content. Keerai Rice is naturally gluten-free, making it accessible for various dietary needs. However, moderation is advised for those monitoring carb intake, depending on the portion size. Universally loved for its simplicity and nourishing qualities, Keerai Rice embodies a perfect balance of traditional taste and health benefits.
