How to make Puliyitta Keerai?
Remove the stems and take the leaves alone.
Rinse them well and chop finely.
In a pan boil the chopped leaves with salt, turmeric powder and slitted green chillies till the leaves are well cooked.
Add the tamarind juice and wait till the stuff thickens and the raw smell of tamarind goes.
To make it further thicker , if needed mix the rice flour in half cup of water and add to the boiling stuff.
Once everything comes together switch off the stove.
Do the seasoning in oil adding mustard, fenugreek , red chillies and asafoetida powder and add to the stuff.

Note:
My Grandma used to add a small piece of Jagerry too while the leaves are getting cooked to enhance the taste. But it is optional.
