    Vallarai Keerai / Brahmi Leaves are one of the healthiest spinach. This spinach has properties to increase memory power. Normally they make thogayal with it. But i wanted to try sambar with it. So i made it and the result was mouthwatering. This keerai is a little bitter but this sambar makes it so yummy you just want to have it like a soup.So try it and let me know ho it turned out for you..
