These leaves grow in abundant in the monsoon season and we use the tender leaves in the dishes and in the dangar as well.  It is healthy and used in the treatment of ring worm, constipation and also cardiac diseases.  Here goes the recipe of dangar in 2 variations. Cassia Tora ((scientific name) Tora plants (common name) called Taikilo in Konkani, Tagache soppu in Kannada, is a monsoon herb seen only during monsoon season.  With the onset of monsoon these herbs grow profusely like weeds and are called Taikilo in Konkani and are used in various Konkani cuisines.   We also prepare Tambli with the tender leaves.  They are a little bitterish to taste.  I would like to share the recipe of Taikile Ambado/Dangar  in 2 variations.
