You may not find extensive articles on them, nor will they be mentioned on fact lists about a region. However, in today’s age, you may just come across a social media video on the topic. These lesser-known discoveries can be fascinating to explore. Recently, a content creator’s reel about finding kadi patta (curry leaves) in “every dish in Mumbai” has received a lot of interest online.
