Pirandai Rice Mix

Pirandai Rice Mix ingredients typically include the tender shoots of pirandai (adamant creeper or veldt grape), along with spices like lentils (channa dal, urad dal), dried chilies, garlic, and asafoetida, and other flavorings like tamarind, salt, and curry leaves.

Ingredients

• Pirandai: Use the tender, top parts of the plant, as the bottom parts can be tough and cause itching. Apply oil to your hands while handling to avoid skin irritation.
• Lentils: Channa dal, urad dal, and other dals are often roasted and ground to form the base of the chutney.
• Spices: Dried chilies, garlic, and jeera (cumin seeds) add flavor.
• Flavorings: Tamarind, salt, and a tempering of curry leaves and asafoetida are common additions.

Health benefits

• Bone health: Pirandai is rich in calcium, phosphorus, and phytoestrogenic steroids, which promote bone healing and strengthen bones, helping to prevent osteoporosis.
• Digestive health: It contains pectin, which aids in digestion and can help relieve constipation.
• Anti-inflammatory properties: It helps reduce inflammation and pain, particularly associated with conditions like arthritis.
• Antioxidant properties: Pirandai is a good source of antioxidants, including vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, and flavonoids, which protect cells from free radical damage.
• Weight management: The fiber in pirandai can help you feel full, which can aid in weight management.
• Skin health: The antioxidants and vitamin C promote collagen production, contributing to healthier skin.
