My mom would buy the greens and she would handle the change from a small pouch that she had tied to her saree. She would throw in a couple of sprigs of curry leaves and coriander leaves for free. That was customary then. Fresh produce was really the norm. My mom used to make greens almost every day. She cooked simple food but I loved it. This is my moms recipe for making keerai kuzhambu. Her Keerai Kadayal recipe is a family favorite. She makes greens so flavorful that everyone at home loves greens. Here is how to do Keerai Kuzhambu with dal.You can use any kind of regular keerai / greens like Arai keerai , siru keerai, amaranth and palak. You can also use bitter variety of leaves like drumstick leaves or methi. Wash and clean the greens and chop them roughly. Set aside.
