I am not very sure ... this plant too is used as greens.
रतनजोत ratanjot ... In literature, the vernacular name ratanjot is attributed to at least 15 plant species spanning four different families ... research paper.

I know
in some of the Ayurvedic traditional science classes i used to take ,
just to take my mind off the cancer patients plight in the western medicine model
we ran into this name RatanJot
and some of the professors from BHU were guesting
they talked of many plants and their products called ratan jot
i perhaps have the list someplace in my notes
and they also mentioned 
the deliberate confusion created
the story i told you above

so much for the royal chefs' ego!!!

they also used it in meat dishes mainly
and in hunting parties mainly

that perhaps explains why  i have not found it mentioned in both my grandma's kitchen notes

Dear Dinesh ji,
Nice pic and good work.
In English spelling, never repeat 'th', so it is പേരാറാത്ത peraratha.
Regards, Sam.

Thanks very much, Sam ji, for validating the Malayalam names, and for the appreciation.
Will try to keep in mind the exception about the double "th".
Regards.
