Easy preparation of vallarai soup - Preparation time 15 mins
My husband bought vallarai keerai from vegetable shop as it had so many medicinal properties. It is good to reduce inflammation, pain on joints, for memory, regularise blood circulation, good for diabetes, etc. Rich in antioxidant properties. Vallarai keerai is called brahmi. This is packed keerai is packed with health benefits
Since we had pain in leg we thought of using it in our diet. He won't consume this as thogayal and dr also suggested to reduce the tamarind content in our food so i have to think differently and light recipe.
I was wondering what to do.There will some astringent taste in this keerai which will go off when we make thogayal. When i searched through internet all the recipe had onion, tomato, etc. I didn't get the soup which i want. I thought of making a simple and easy soup in which we have to get the nutrition of the leaves and we have to get the taste of the soup along with the unique taste of the vallarai leaf.
Went into kitchen and tried this soup. Actually it came out well and my husband liked the soup in the rainy evening :-). You also try out everyone in your family will love both the soup and you.
