Vallarai Keerai Benefits and Uses - Health Benefits of Brahmi Leaves

Brahmi or Vallarai Keerai is a very popular medicinal herb used widely in India. Vallarai keerai is used to treat various diseases like fever, ulcers, and diarrhea. It is also very good for hair and skin diseases.

Vallarai Keerai - Brahmi Leaves


Vallarai keerai is not a favorite green for many as it is not quite palatable. So, it is not widely available like other keerai varieties in small shops. Arai keerai, Ponnanganni keerai, siru keerai, palak keerai and vendhaya keerai are widely used as we can make some good tasty dishes. But it is nice to consider adding vallarai keerai/Brahmi leaves to you in your diet as it has a lot of health benefits. If you are a mom of school or college going children, you should definitely consider it as it is a good and natural brain booster.

Vallarai Keerai in different languages:

Botanical Name of Vallarai Keerai is Centella Asiatica. People refer it as Centella and gotu kola commonly. It is called as Asiatic pennywort or Indian pennywort. It is called as brahmi booti in Hindi, Brahmi in Marathi, saraswati aku in Telugu,  kudangal in Malayalam, ondelaga in Kannada, Vallarai keerai in Tamil.

Vallarai Keerai Recipes:

It is difficult to make yummy recipes with vallarai keerai. You can make soup or juice from Vallarai Keerai. You can take fresh juice by crushing vallarai keerai and add it in your daily cup of tea. These are some of the easiest ways you can have brahmin leaves. The next easy recipe is Vallarai keitai thuvaiyal. It can be made with or without coconut. Adding Bengal gram and urad dal makes is palatable.

You can make vallarai keerai sambar, vallarai keerai kootu also. I will post those recipes soon.

An easy way to add Brahmi to ur diet is to have it as vallarai keerai chutney with curd rice. You can easily consume a lot when compared with having as a side dish for idli or dosa.

Rava Kichadi Recipe - How To Make Rava Kichadi

Rava Kichadi Recipe - How To Make Rava Kichadi:


Rava kichadi When I was working, I used to have morning breakfast in my company before me and my room the mates started cooking on our own. It was before recession and we get food in subsidized rate. We get Idli or Dosa & Pongal or Rava kichadi, ulunthu vada(Urad dal vada) with sambar and 2 different chutneys for breakfast. Be it Pongal or Rava kichadi, the caterer add ghee and oil generously and make it more delicious. They used to be always mouth watering. A sweet warning - if you try make this rava kichadi so often, reduce the oil and ghee quantity so that you do not put more weight:)


Nowadays, when we go to Saravana Bhavan for breakfast, I blindly order Rava kichadi. OMG, it is always so delicious. My hubby is not a fan of rava and hence I did not think to try the Saravana Bhavan Rava kichadi recipe for a long time. Time has come when one of my friends who is a bachelor asked me to post more bachelor recipes. To honor him, I am posting this recipe.

Try this rava kichadi recipe and get rid of making plain rava upma again and again.
