Method

Red Ponnanganni Keerai

Clean the red ponnanganni keerai, pluck the leaves and keep it ready.

Wash the keerai at least 2-3 times thoroughly with water and drain it. Chop it roughly and keep it ready.

Take ½ cup of moong dal/paasi paruppu, add water, wash thoroughly and drain the water.

Add washed dal to the pressure cooker, add 2 cups of water, ¼ tsp of asafoetida/perungayam and ¼ tsp of turmeric powder.

Close the lid and pressure cook for 2-3 whistles.

Meanwhile heat 3 tsp of oil in a pan, splutter mustard seeds, cumin seeds and dry red chillies.

Add finely chopped onion, slit green chillies, crushed garlic cloves and little salt.

Saute the onions really well until they turn translucent.

Add chopped tomatoes and mix really well.

Cover and cook the tomatoes until they turn mushy.

Add the chopped red ponnanganni keerai, little salt and mix really well.

No saute the keerai for about a minute, then sprinkle little water and cook the keerai until it shrinks.

At this stage, switch off the stove.

Open the pressure cooker and mash the dal really well.

Add the cooked red ponnanganni keerai to the dal and mix really well.

Add ¼ cup of water, if needed little salt and boil well for another 4-5 minutes.

Now the keerai is cooked thoroughly along with dal.

Now switch off the stove.
