Got wondering what is the difference between kundru (kovaika) and parwal (kambupudalai). Kambupudalai has ladys fingers like seeds, slightly bigger, elliptical, stouter than kovaika.
Before reading this book, had never bought nutmeg all these years.

पासयित्वा पुनस्तच्च वेष्टयित्वा प्रदापयेत् । उष्णवीर्यकरं स्वादु त्रिदोषघ्नं विपाकतः ॥ ४३५ ॥
