Mannathakkali, nowadays these healthy vegetable is missing in market, even to get Mannatakkali keerai its not a regular mark in markets, somehow very rare i find those things here.. In our christmas vacation i bought a pack Mannathakkali vattal, luckily I’m home town this s affordable in all markets..

Earlier i used to collect those fruit in a basket from my garden, and mom make this sundried vattal for later use.. these fruits are very tastier, they looks like black small beads.. similar to tomato shape,These Are called as Black Night Shade Berries, this pulpy tomatoes are my favourite, and it seems very fun to pick from the plants.. Dont know how many of you know the medicinal value of this plant, Mannathakkali leaves and fruits are very good medicine for Ulcer.. they heal the wounds very quickly, seriously its a magical plant.. Mom prepare the curry with fresh Mannathakkali too, Though here i can afford with the dried one..
