The best place to search for answers is forums like <a href="http://www.indusladies.com/" rel="nofollow">IndusLadies</a> or <a href="http://www.anothersubcontinent.com" rel="nofollow">AnotherSubContinent</a>. For eg, I learnt a lot about greens from <a href="http://www.anothersubcontinent.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2248&st=180&p=139372&" rel="nofollow">this thread</a>.

Growing up, it was hard to miss because students were the primary target for vallarai tablets. <BR/><BR/>SMN, Brahmi is the Ayurvedic name for Indian Pennywort.<BR/><BR/>You are most welcome, Sriharivatsan. I never had those tablets, but these greens were a regular in my house.<BR/><BR/>Raaga, I am mighty surprised. Your mom may have sneaked into you plate w/o telling you :p<BR/><BR/>HC, Now you know...<BR/><BR/>Sunita, I am glad to know that it was cooked regularly across India. This is an age-old recipe. Can't go wrong with that :)<BR/><BR/>Priya, You probably don't remember well. I can't believe you haven't heard of this green. You should ask your mom.<BR/><BR/>Aparna, You said it right. The same kuzhambhu can be made with just curry leaves, if you can't get vallarai.<BR/><BR/>Pavani, it is called 'Saraswataaku' in Telugu.<BR/><BR/>A&N, I wanted to try this for so long too. Glad to be of help :)<BR/><BR/>LOL Cilantro. I would never try masiyal with vallarai. It has a strong taste and needs lot of spices, tamarind, coconut or shallots. I am sure that dog is nowhere to be seen :p<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your visit, Veggievixen, Mythreyee and Kalva.<BR/><BR/>Anu, I am not very sure.

Our keerai lady also was precious. She would come every other day and coax us into buying greens. Apart from my mother I think she was the one instrumental in making me like my greens. She has stopped coming by now though. Now it feels like a luxury to have some one come to your door step with fresh produce.Priyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11535326222601384563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756897495670629522.post-82493405726631178422009-02-05T07:09:00.000-07:002009-02-05T07:09:00.000-07:00Lovely...I remember this herb too...we get it in p...Lovely...I remember this herb too...we get it in plenty and my ma used the same thing as yours :-)sunitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09176577177334401747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756897495670629522.post-56461586639220012602009-02-05T06:29:00.000-07:002009-02-05T06:29:00.000-07:00Same like Nags i don't know this veg.Same like Nags i don't know this veg.Finlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122357811540919609noreply@blogger.com
