About Meen Kuzhambu
Drumstick 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 is
most 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.

Ingredients for Drumstick Fish Curry
Drumstick :
The Drumsticks are tapered at each end. Moringa pods are bitter with a somewhat sweet taste; their muted flavor allows for a variety of seasoning options.
Tamarind :
Tamarind flavour can range from sweet and sour to tangy and tart, depending on the other ingredients it is combined with. Sweet ingredients, such as sugar, can, for example, take the sting out of sour tamarind flavours. The sourer the taste, the less ripe the tamarind.
Green Chilli :
The green chillies in cooked or raw form give a fiery hot flavor. To reduce the fiery hot flavor the seeds and inner membranes could be removed which is effective at reducing the heat of the pod.
