Pirandai/Adamant Creeper has high medicinal value. It helps in curing stomach problems, keeping a check on cholesterol levels, reduces inflammation and purifies blood. Chutney and powder are common dishes made out of this plant. It can be grown anywhere and hardly requires any care. Pluck and peel the thick skin before using them.

Hi Vijaya,

Can we use the pirandai in moong dosa or lobia dosa? I dont use urad dal in my dosas as it aggravates my acidity.
