Vallarai Keerai Thogaiyal / Brahmi Leaves Chutney

     Vallarai keerai is being recommended by Siddha and Ayurveda experts for increasing memory power in kids. This thogaiyal is an ideal alternative to our standard coconut chutney for atleast once in a week.  It is better to start from early childhood itself and so this recipe is a good start.
