Kale or borecole (Brassica oleracea Acephala Group) is a vegetable with green or purple leaves, in which the central leaves do not form a head. It is considered to be closer to wild cabbage than most domesticated forms of vegetables, wiki says. Kale is rich in Vitamin K, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Iron, Magnesium, anit oxidants etc.,Most important health benefits of consuming Kale regularly helps in blood glucose control in Diabetes and also lowers the blood pressure. Though I cook Kale dishes often, never get a chance to click and share here.
Like Broccoli, Kale also suits well with Indian spices and Indian recipes. The taste of Kale Poriyal is similar to that Drumstick leaves Poriyal. Though the fresh kale has different flavor from Drumstick leaves, the cooked one tastes like Drumtick leaves. I love drumstick leaves recipes a lot, but I do not see here often. So, started using Kale in place of Drumstick leaves. This Kale Poriyal is a simple recipe and makes a perfect accompaniment for Rice & Rasam or with Curd Rice, Lemon Rice & Sambar Sadham. We had Kale Poriyal with plain rice, Brinjal Puli kuzhambu, Vazhakkai Varuval & Fresh Homemade Curd.
