DRUMSTICK LEAVES ADAI!!

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.

Now the recipe follows....
