Drumstick Masala/ Shajan ki Sabji/ Murunga kai Poriyal
Drumsticks are the immature seed pods of Moringa Oleifera which is native to tropical and subtropical regions of South Asia. The tree is commonly known as the Moringa tree and the leaves, seeds, and immature seed pods are used in various South Asia cuisines. Drumsticks are often cut into shorter lengths and stewed in curries and soups. The seed pods/fruits even when cooked by boiling, remain particularly high in vitamin C and are also a good source of dietary fiber, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and manganese.
