That’s an interesting recipe. I had read somewhere that drumstick leaves and maybe other parts of the plant, like the fruit, are very nutritious. In fact that article said (IIRC) that some govt. orgs or NGOs are promoting the drumstick tree in different parts of the world as a sort of miracle crop. BTW, your blog design is good.
Thank you for your valuable comment. Yes, indeed drumstick leaves are very good for health. Thanks a lot for appreciating the design.
