Karporavalli / omavalli , as this
herb is called in tamilnadu. It was widely used in traditional medicines. This
was used to treat cold in young childrens.
We can take the leaf as raw , but
many won’t like the taste as well as smell. I came across this recipe in a blog

chilly , karporavalli leaves , curry leaves, onion , garlic and tomato.
