About Drumstick Avial Recipe
Drum Stick is also known as moringa. While the rest of the world has lauded moringa as a superfood, it has long been a staple of the South Indian diet. Moringa is also the botanical name (Moringa Oleifera) for drumstick, which gets its name from Murungai (Tamil) or Muringa(Spanish) (Malayalam). While it grows in most parts of India, it ismost likely more common in Southern India. It’s also popular in Burma, Cambodia, and Thailand, where the drumstick is frequently cooked with seafood in curries. Drumstick trees are deeply rooted in Southern Indian folklore and legends.
