Suresh-ji, thank you for generating this query. *Pui shaag* is a favourite amongst Bengalis (specially yummy cooked with hilsa head!) and is grown in almost every aangan (including my terrace garden!). Indulgent Bengali mothers believe that this cools the heads of their brats! Its a Chinese favourite too (Saan Choy) and indeed I have seen many grow them in pots in China, Singapore, etc. They do a wonderful stir fry with its stems.And in my wanderings through Vietnam found this their favourite too - served with great elan in roadside as well as posh restaurants. But I have never had paranthas made with it - so could you please make Tabish's order as two portions!
Apologies, if I have turned this into a culinary site. Regards, Sushmita Jha On Mon, May 11, 2009 at 8:55 PM, Suresh C.
