its THE VILLAGERS PORIYALβ¦. at times when we don't find any veg's to cook, we simply turn to our Murungakai trees behind our houseβ¦. we usually make it without the yellow dhalsβ¦. rumor is that, drinking water boiled with Murungakai leaves helps improve stamina !!! We also make Murungai Eai Mulagooshyam with green moong dhal.
I love this and when my fridge is empty of veggies, i go to my back yard pluck some fresh from the tree and make this or some poricha kuzhambu. Delicious stir fry
we normal just use the drumsticks to make a veg dish but lately have been reading the benefits of also using the leaves. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
