    Remove,stir well and add cardamom pdr, if using it.

    Rest for 5 mts before serving.

    Milk powder must be fresh or refrigerated to preserve freshness. If using skim milk powder , add 2 tsp ghee after removing.

    Use a tall, big bowl, since there is a tendency for overflowing.

    Dear Prabha,
    Thanks.
    This has been my collection since 1971, when I started using them in my baking oven. Belive some of them cost as little as 10 rs when I bought them !
    Love,
    Chithra.

    Manathakkali Keerai Curry - Cures stomach & Mouth ulcers

    Keerai leaves, chopped - 3 cups ( wash well & drain completely)

    Moong dhal - 2 tbsp

    Freshly grated coconut - 1-2 tbsp

    Salt

    To temper:

    Oil - 2 tsp

    Red chillies - 2, broken

    Mustard seeds - 1 tsp

    Urad dhal - 2 tsp

    Soak dhal in boiling water in a MW shallow bowl for 30 mts.

    Add 2 tbsp water to the keerai in a MW bowl, partly cover & MW Hi for 5 or more mts, depending on the freshness.

    Rest for a few mts & drain.

    MW dhal, partly coverd for 5 mts – it should just be cooked, must not become too soft or mushy.

    Drain, this – use both drained waters in cooking since they are very nutritious.

    In a MW bowl, add all the tempering ingredients, partly cover & MW for 3 mts.

    Add both-drained keerai, sdhal & little salt.

    Mix thoroughly and MW for 3-4 mts.

    Remove & sprinkle coconut.

    This goes well with all kuzambus which contain no dhal, like vatha kuzambu, morkuzambu etc.
