Moringa is a highly nutritious vegetable.
Juicy and spicy moringa pod gravy |
This is spicy gravy full of flavour from the moringa pods also known as drumsticks.This vegetable takes the name of drumstick because of its shape. If you cannot take hot food leave out the green and red chili and reduce the curry powder to ½ tablespoon. The coconut cream will reduce the heat from the curry powder.
While eating, scoop out the flesh with a spoon. I feel that this is the best curry out of all drumstick curries.
