Happy to
post my first dish! This is a very easy and healthy way of cooking drumstick
leaves.
Ingredients:
- Drumstick leaves - 1 cup
- Bengal gram - 1 tsp
- Yellow split peas / Thoor dal - 1tsp
- Black gram (skin removed) - 1tsp
- Pepper corns - 1tsp
- Cumin seeds - 1tsp
- Dried red chillies - 2 nos
- Shallots - 10 - 12 nos
- Garlic cloves - 2 nos
- Coriander Powder - 1tsp
- Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
- Salt - for taste
- Water - 2 to 3 glasses
- Refined Oil - 1tsp
- Coconut oil - 1/2 tsp.
- In a kadai sprinkle some oil and fry all the ingredients from 2 to 9 until the shallots turn to brown color.
- Leave the above mixture to cool down and then grind it together by adding some water, into a smooth paste.
- Dilute this grounded paste by adding some more water.
- Add turmeric powder and salt and allow it to boil.
- Add the drumstick leaves.
- Allow the curry to boil for 10-12 mts. Make sure that the drumstick leaves are cooked well.
- Remove from fire and as a last step, sprinkle the coconut oil on the top of the curry. This gives a flavour to the curry. This can be avoided if you don't like the taste of coconut oil.
- Tasty drumstick leaves curry is ready. Goes very well with hot boiled rice.
