Drumstick plant (Moringa oleifera) has incredible nutritional value. High in calcium, protein, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, iron and potassium. It could be used to cure a wide range of ailments. This plant is popular among Indians. I remember when I was small, my Indian neighbour used to cook drumstick curry and gave my family some. This dish will always bring me down memory lane...
Here is a delicious curry dish and can make you eat up bowls of rice i.e. if you like curry. It is an all in one dish- vegetables and meat :
