After World War II, over 300,000 ethnic Indians in Burma, including Tamils from Tamil Nadu, Telugus from Andhra Pradesh and Marwaris from the Marwar region of India's Rajasthan, immigrated to India. After returning to India, they brought their food culture also along with them. In Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, migrants sell khauk swe, which is commonly eaten in the area called Burma Colony. In Chennai, India, a version of the dish, called atho (from Burmese: အသုပ်), is sold by street vendors.[2][3]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
