Besides the fruit of the tree, even the tender leaves, flowers are
consumed as food.
Though many would like to stick to its use in curries,
sambars, kormas, and dals, it is a surprise vegetable,
which also makes tasty cutlets, etc. Besides the fruit
of the tree, even the tender leaves, flowers are
consumed as food.
Tender drumstick leaves, finely chopped, make an
excellent garnish for any veggies, dals, sambars,
salads, etc. One can use the same in place of or with
coriander, as these leaves have high medicinal value.
If the pulp has to be scraped out after cooking the
sticks, then keep the pieces as long as 4-5 inches
long. Also do not scrape the skin before boiling. This
will help to hold and scrape them easier and with
lesser mess.
