Slow Cooker Drumstick Leaves / Moringa Soup

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
• Turmeric Powder – 1/2 tsp

For Tempering:

• Ghee / Oil – 3 tsps
• Jeera / Cumin Seeds – 2 tbsps
• Hing – 1/2 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.

• Now in the crockpot add the drumstick leaves, 6 cups of water, salt, turmeric powder and pepper powder.

• Set it in low mode for 2 hours.

• Now in the tadka pan, add the ghee or oil.
• Once it is hot, add the cumin seeds, red chillies and hing.

• As they start to splutter add it to the soup.

That’s it. Clear and yummy green soup is ready.
