Arai Keerai (Greens) is a very healthy, simple and easy dish to prepare. It can be prepared in a jiffy. We find it difficult to give children greens. We all know its nutritional value and its importance in our menu. This can be given to children without much difficulty. We have to change the recipes often so that they don’t get bored of the same dish. I find it difficult with my elder one in giving keerai even now. Try out with the greens you get in your region and enjoy. I will surely update lots more greens recipe in my further go.
