Thanks a lot guys. I actually traced this as the "Hyacinth Bean" and got the seeds from my garden depot and grew it. I have a bumper crop of avarai kaai this summer.

Idiyappam, Avarikkai is beneficial for diabetics and it's leaves cures skin ulcers.
When the paste of these leaves aplied on boils infection, it discharges fus faster and cures it. This my own experience n tested one.
This can be consumed as poriyal and karz kozhambu
