Or for some of you, engrish :p

There is a medicine called Pudin Hara if you know about it. Our chutney is also made from this.

Major use is the green chutney

It's found in some herbal medicines, specifically, pudin hara. It's meant for stomach aches, helps digest food, etc.

cilantro is something else... called malliyela in Kerala, more of a garnish than anything else.
