'Manattakkali' in Malayalam. A delicious leafy vegetable.
The fruits can be dipped in curds and salt and then sundried. This
will keep for long time and the sundried fruits can be fried in oil
and used as a sidedish with rice (what we call 'kondattum' in
Malayalam). These fried fruits are also used to make a delicious curry
with tamarind ('rasam').

Sandhya
