Posted by Monica under Manipuri - Picture of Fruits/Vegetable/snacks
This is one of my favourite vegetable back home in Manipur. Locally known as “Tengnou Manbi“ and also known as winged beans. Tender “Tengnou Manbi” eaten fresh with “morokmetpa” or “eromba” is yummy.

This vegetable is found in Kerala also. It is called payar.
It is locally grown in Kerala. Keralaites make the so called thoran with thisby sauting this with onion and adding coconut scrapings.

I’ve seen tenou-manbi in rural karnataka. Don’t knw how they eat but almost every household had few plants.
