Murungai Keerai Thoran Recipe (Drumstick Leaves Thoran Recipe)
Awesome dish which travels straight from the region of Kerala into my kitchen. This dish has its unique flavour and taste to it. If you want to make this dish you need some preparation work to go on. First you should remove all the leaves from the branch, yes it need some patience and time. Then wash it well so that there is now yucky things on the leavesAfter all this you can get ready for the cooking. I have my lovable mom who made all these hard work and gave me those awesome leaves to cook. Lucky me.
