After
a little gap, I have come again to my recipes.
This
time, I am going to give an adai recipe, that also with drumstick leaves.
[Murungaikeerai] We can make soup, vadai and adai varieties with these leaves.
Murungkai keerai poriyal is very famous in Tamilnadu. Adding chopped banana
flower with these leaves makes the poriyal very tasty. Now coming back to adai,
this adai with drumstick leaves is also very traditional and famous. Fry these leaves in a little ghee and eat with hot rice. This helps to
improve immunity and purify the blood. Drumstick leaves help to reduce the
sugar level in human body. Body heat, constipation and back pain are also
controlled by these leaves.
