Recently having visited Goa, my neighbour gifted us a creeping plant, the leaves of which are used as a vegetable. We have grown in indoors and it has done remarkably well. I cooked some of the leaves together with sweet corn and it came out pretty good with a distinctive flavour. I remembered seeing this plant in Nairobi Kenya. When it is mature it produces purple coloured berries which if squashed emit a bluish/purple ink.
Can someone tell me the name of this plant and also if it has any medicinal properties. My neighbour in Goa uses it for all sorts of dishes including making bajias with them. We also brought back a curry leaves plant which almost gave up but has come back nicely, in the hot weather we are now having. Both plants are grown indoors - what are the best conditions for the curry leaves plant? Cheers.
