After coming to US , the more we missed
other than our parents are the keerais or greens.
Suganya of Tasty Palettes reflected the same feeling
of me that was going around in my mind for a long time.
My hubby is a great lover of Arai keerai.He missed this
so much.I went on to search for chard soon after seeing
Suganya's post.Thank you Suganya for helping us to
get the exact tastiness of arai keerai.
Ingredients
Swiss chard - 1 bunch
shallots - 6
Green chillies - 3
Tomato - small - 1
For seasoning
Oil - 1 tsp
mustard - 1/2 tsp
urad dhal - 1/2 tsp
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
salt - 1/2 tsp
Method
- Clean well and chop the chard.
- In a kadai cook chard ,tomato , green chilli along with 1/4 cup of water.
- Cook well.Cool it down for a couple of min.
- Blend in the whipping mode for few seconds.
- Masiyal should be little bit coarse.

- Once it splutters , add this and salt to the masiyal and mix well.
Keerai masiyal is the best combi for Sambhar and rice.
I am sending this to WHB which is started by Kalyan's kitchen

that looks so colorful and delicious Kamala!
I made pirratal with swiss chard. Didn't made masiyal. Looks tasty and good :)
I'm a big fan of the masiyal with arai keerai too... so happy to know that swiss chard tastes exactly like that - thanks Kamala.
Hi Kamala,
You have a nice blog here. To begin with I am going to try that yummy pizza! Thnak you for stopping by @ Aabharan & encouraging me :)
This is a healthy recipe. Looks nice. Will try it soon.
I am glad to be of help, Kamala. Swiss chard is a mild green and it works well in many Indian recipes. Thank you for trying the recipe.
Looks healthy kamala.I have never tried masiyal other than spinach.Will give this a try soon..
looks great.. colourful..
I too miss having keerai which Iused to have back at home..Brings back memories..Thanks for sending this for WHB akka..
Me too Kamala. I have not tried swiss chard, I'll buy it the next time. But I have started cooking with beet greens a lot. I guess chard and beets belong to the same family.
So interesting. I have swiss chard in my garden, but had no idea it could be cooked like this. I love the idea that you found a vegetable you can use to make one of your favorite foods from your native country.
Hmmm this would be great on freshly cooked rice. Deep flavors for sure.
