About Siru keerai kootu
Siru Keerai Kootu is a traditional South Indian dish made with Siru Keerai (Amaranth greens), moong dal (yellow lentils), and a flavorful blend of coconut, cumin, and green chilies. This wholesome dish is a staple in Tamil cuisine, celebrated for its nutritious and balanced profile. Amaranth greens are a powerhouse of nutrients, rich in iron, calcium, vitamin A, and dietary fiber, promoting bone health, digestion, and immunity. Lentils add plant-based protein to the dish, making it a great option for vegetarians and vegans. The use of freshly ground coconut adds creaminess, while a tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves, and spices enhances its flavor. Low in fat and free of processed ingredients, Siru Keerai Kootu is a healthy, comforting choice for those seeking a nutrient-dense, traditional meal. However, those monitoring fat intake may need to moderate the coconut used.
