Well.........I always used  to think, there is just one method to make Keerai masiyal. I tasted this yummy Keerai masiyal in a restaurant in Pondicherry. Then  my friend , who hails from Andhra, taught me this recipe...I learnt  this method of adding some tangy twist  to it.
This method is very good because, it can be used as an accompaniment for a south indian meal, and can also be mixed with rice and eaten. It proves to be very ideal for chapathies too.

  1. Surely another way of consuming the leafy vegetable. Looks good and may be tasty with added ingredients! Should try this.
