Thanks so much for sharing. If you have your mother's recipe for her special dish that she added to her curry, it would be greatly appreciated if you could share it here.

My Father planted the seeds and my mother used to pick the leaves to steam and prepare a special dish to add to her curry. We always referred to it as "English Spinach", because that is where it came from. As I have subsequently discovered Joseph Banks took seeds back to England and they were then taken by the British to Burma. Now hence back to the country of origin. Amazing story I think you will agree. Friends of my family brought the seeds into Australia from Burma in the 1950s.
