Siru Keerai Kadayal /Masiyal (Green leaf kadayal) (Mom's best)

This is a very tasty , tangy, authentic dish made by my mom, this is called as a kadayal as we use matthu kattai to make the green leaf a paste, if you are not used to this you can use mixie, be careful not to over grind it (just one/two grrrrrrr... stop ) to a paste than it may not come well.
Keerai is a very nutritious dish and this kadayal is so good if you try this once I bet you may not stop making it another time...
Try out this tangy keerai kadayal, any kind of green leaf will go well with this , but siru keera wins all the others.
