Mullai Keerai kootu preparation time 20 to 25 mins
When the mullai keerai is tender it will be very soft and tasty when cooked. While cleaning the greens for cooking remove the leave which contains white spot on the back of the leaf or yello leaves. When more hole exist in the leaf don't use that leaf also. While buying check the green bundle well specifically on the leaves. Remove the root and damaged leaves. Take water in a large bowl wash well and immerse the greens for few mins so the sand and dust will settle in the bottom. Remove the greena and wash in water two more times before chopping.
Health Tips : Green contains more iron, low fat, high protein,calcium, fibre and other vitamins so, include more greens. If possible you can make dishes using greens daily.
