    We all know the goodness of drumstick leaves which is called as Murungai Keerai in Tamil. I have already mentioned about the health benefits of these leaves in the Murungai Keeri Curry post. We used the leaves, flowers and of course the veggie drumstick for cooking. I don’t find flowers here in US (toooo much expectation huh) but leaves and drumsticks are readily available.

    I got this recipe from our friend JV. Vaandu doesn’t like this spinach and making him eat this veggie is daunting task. I add drumstick in soups but when I was looking for some soup recipe JV shared this recipe with me. She does it in the regular stove top way, but I thought why not try this in the slow cooker. The flavor just comes from the spinach and the tadka. I have used loads of ghee but you can skip that and do the tadka with oil and top it up with butter later.

    Here is the recipe,

    Ingredients:

    • Drumstick Leaves – 2 cups
    • Water – 6 cups
    • Pepper Powder – 2 tsps
    • Salt – 2 tsps

    For Tempering:

    • Ghee / Oil – 3 tsps
    • Jeera / Cumin Seeds – 2 tbsps
    • Hing – ½ tsp
    • Red Chillies – 3

    Steps:

    • Clean the drumstick leaves. Remove the stems and wash them well. Take off the yellow leaves and leaves with holes.
