Method
Clean the Mulai Keerai and take the stem/stalk
part alone. You can make Mulai Keerai Poondu Masiyal with the leaves. Wash the stem and chop them to half inch
thickness and keep it aside.
Heat 2 tsp oil in a kadai, splutter mustard
seeds, then add cumin seeds, split urad dal and fry for 20-30 secs. Now add dry red chillies, curry leaves and fry
for another 30 seconds.
Add shallots/sambar onions and fry until they
turn translucent.
Now add the washed and chopped keerai thandu to
the onions and give a stir. Add required amount of salt and sauté for about
a minute or two.
Now add little water for the keerai thandu to
cook, it will take roughly about 5-7 minutes for the stem to cook.
Once all the water is absorbed and the thandu
has cooked, add the freshly grated coconut. Give a good stir until all the coconut is mixed
thoroughly and then switch off the stove.
