Pirandai thogayal ( Pirandai thuvaiyal) /Adamant creeper chutney, sounds interesting right?.Yes, I too felt the same when my MIL told about this recipe. I have heard about this plant but I din’t know it is edible. After I browsed its health benefits, I was so happy that I got to know a very useful, healthy recipe from my MIL. Thanks a lot aunty. This thuvaiyal tasted more like thengai/coconut thogayal and I loved its taste very much. I haven’t tasted it with idli,dosa. I hope it tastes good.
