Vallarai Keerai Kootu Recipe / Keerai Kootu Recipe / Brahmi Leaves Kootu Recipe


Vallarai Keerai or Brahmi leaves which it is called in english is really healthy for us and increases memory power, so good for kids. I have three recipes of that keerai in this blog, check out my vallarai keerai sambar, vallarai keerai thogayal. This is another simple recipe which can be prepared using that keerai.



I made this kootu so many days before and served it with paruppu rasam and vazhakkai chukka fry. It was truly yummy, vallarai keerai has a little bitterness, so i added a tiny bit of sugar to balance it and it really worked.
