This time when I went to India saw Pirandai everywhere .. Last time when my mum did it I missed taking pic. This time we made it a few times so I managed take the pic. My mum has a little garden and around that garden we had Pirandai plant. My dad was mentioning that he needs to keep cleaning the plant as it grows very fast doesn’t really require much of maintenance…This is perfect for steamed rice. I had this as a side dish to the Dosa / Idli too.
