Murunga keerai Soup, a delicious and healthy soup made from drumstick leaves. Drumstick leaves is the most nutritious part of the plant and it has significant amount of vitamin A,B,C,K, manganese and protein(Source:Wiki).
Include them in our diet regularly aids great benefit to our health. Apart from making poriyal or adding into adai, this soup is another delicious way of consuming them.
Few months back,when i was in India, i got introduced to this soup by the neighbour at my MIL's place. It was so flavorful & delicious and trigger your appetite within 1/2 hr of having this soup, so keep the food ready before having this soup😉.
Since our neighbour at MIL's place is having drumstick tree in their front yard whenever they harvest drumsticks or cutting off the out growing branches, they used to share the excess with near ones. And also they used to make this soup frequently and share with us a couple of times.
Ever since i had tasted this, i want to make on my own. Last week when we went for grocery shopping at Indian store, luckily i found fresh drumsticks leaves, without a second though bought two packs.
Guess,What? The following day itself i made this soup with the taste and flavor that i had remembered. To my surprise, it turned out super delicious with subtle flavor. Next time, when i'm at MIL's place, hopefully will try to get their recipe and share here.
As of now, let's checkout on how i have prepared the healthy murungai keerai soup.
