'Manathakkaali' in Tamil as well. Sandhya is right. Dried fruits fried in oil or ghee cure ulcers. But I find the juice extract from the leaves work better in curing mouth and stomach ulcers. Raw leaves are ground with water and the extract is taken orally on an empty stomach. (But I have taken it at other times as well and I feel the result is the same) After one intake itself there will be a remarkable difference. Some people take the extract with coconut milk. --- On Wed, 5/1/11, harithasandhya <[email protected]> wrote:

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').
