Have you eaten hibiscus yet?
The Hindu
In tea, in rasam or as a mouth-watering thoran (stir-fry)... How do you take your hibiscus? The common flower that grows wildly in almost every tropical garden and front yard is now a regular presence on the dining table.
There are over 200 varieties of the flower seen in India, however, only the five-petalled, red one is used for food. The ‘brilliant-red’ rosa-sinensis has been through a variety of culinary experiments lately, with celebrity chefs cooking anything from quesadillas to masala prawns with it, not to mention a variety of teas and fancy sherbets.
