Thaikilo and marvala paan are both wild greens. Tikilo resembles methi leaves which grows especially during rainy season and Marvala paan resembles alva paan which mysteriously grows on trees.
Both the greens can be prepped in similar way using the recipe below. I don't think these are available in the U.S which is sad, but I always get to these delicacies on my visit back home.
My mom makes this special dish, always sending a few people on a mission to get these two rarely found greens along with gud-gud alambo .

4 cups finely chopped taikilo or Marvala paan
1 cup rice
1/4 cup urad dal
