About Pala keerai poriyal

Pala Keerai Poriyal is a nutritious South Indian stir-fry dish made with tender spinach-like amaranth leaves (Pala Keerai), coconut, mustard seeds, red chilies, and aromatic spices. This traditional Tamil Nadu recipe is celebrated for its simplicity and rich flavor. Amaranth leaves are packed with vitamins A, C, and K, along with essential minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium, making this dish excellent for bone health, immunity, and digestion. Coconut adds healthy fats and improves the dish’s texture, while minimal oil preserves its wholesome nature. Typically enjoyed as a side dish with rice and sambar, Pala Keerai Poriyal is a low-calorie choice ideal for balanced diets. However, moderation is key for those monitoring fat intake due to the coconut content. Vibrantly green, flavorful, and nutrient-dense, this dish embodies the essence of healthy, homemade Indian food.
