Method
Manathakkali Keerai
Pluck the leaves , fruits and flowers of the Manathakkali keerai and discard the stem.
Wash
the Manathakkali Keerai thoroughly with water 2-3 times and drain the water.
Make sure there is no mud in the keerai.
Wash ½ cup of Moong Dal/Paasi paruppu thoroughly with water 2-3 times and drain the water.

The leaves will start to shrink and let it cook along with the dal for about 5-7 minutes or until done. Adjust the amount of salt and add little water if needed when cooking the Keerai.
