It can be consumed as-is or with hot plain rice. It eases digestion and is light on stomach. Variety tamblis are staple during the summer as it is the best coolant.

  1. Aren’t these vitamin leaves commonly known as curry patta? They are now sold in North Indian markets too, though they are not part of North Indian cuisines. Many houses in my neighbourhood have their plants. Their lovely flavour enhances the taste of any dish.

  2. Hi Vandana, Vitamin leaves are totally different from Curry leaves. Curry leaves are are widely used in South Indian dishes, mainly in Tadka’s. Vitamin leaves looks exactly like curry leaves,but they are bit soft and has an unique smell and flavour. It can be used to prepare tasty chutney as well.
