    Yes I got the ratio

    leftover normal idly batter and ragi 3:1 ratio with two spoon curd should be kept for 2 hours we can get soft idly.
    my tomorrow lunch is tomato rice with potato fry.

    The paruppu keerai or the purslane greens or pigweed..
    images (9).jpg

    They resemble methi in shape though they are a little thicker, succulent in nature. the leaves contain water..so they are mucilaginous like pasalai keerai but not to the extent of pasalai..

    they contain omega 3 fatty acids in plenty. so a wonderful green substitute for fish oil..highest vitamin a. do give kids. camouflage it in sambhar until the kids get the hang of the taste.like i do...

    Wow!
    I didn't know these are edible. They grow as weeds in my garden and I am always pulling out great bunches once the weather warms up!

    @malstrom there are a couple of varieties of the same paruppu keerai. if the one that crops up in your home has yellow flowers than it is paruppu keerai. do cross check with a vendor to be safer.but if it paruppu you are in for a wonderful meal. you can stir fry if you don't mind the new taste..

    a rich source of multivitamins...

    It's edible alright. Its called Kulfa in hindi. As @shanvy pointed out, its very nutritious and grows by itself. My farmer's market charges 4$ for a small bunch and the farmers do say it grows by itself, its not cultivated. I am guessing, like wild fish, the wild greens are more nutritious :)

    @shanvy, again I am surprised that you get this in Chennai. I have never seen this as long as I lived in TN :( One of the few vegetarian sources of omega....
