It is very good for joint pains. I got the cutting of Pirandai plant from my friend here and it started beautifully growing up. I asked my mom for the recipe and she shared her way of making the Pirandai thogayal. If you want you can add more pirandai, but i have less in my home garden, so i used little only. It tasted nice with hot rice and also tasted yum with curd rice. The ones we get in shops are bit thick. Look out for a tender ones and make the thuvaiyal.
