Drumstick Leaves/ Muringayila Curry

Drumstick Leaves Curry
Needless to say that we have to try to include leafy vegetables in our diet due to the high nutrient content in them, but did anyone say the truth? I include them in my diet to their high taste content :-)
This one is made with Drumstick Leaves/ Muringayila.
It was almost a daily item back in Kerala, but here we try to include them alteast once in a  week

Ingredients (Serves 4)
Drumstick Leaves - 75 gms
Toor dal - 1/2 cup
Water for cooking dal- 2 1/2 cups
Salt
Turmeric - a pinch
Coconut - 1/2 cup
Cumin - 1 tsp
Red Chilly Pdr - 1 tsp
Water for grinding - 1/2 cup
Oil - 1 tbsp
Small Onion - 2 nos minced
Dry Red Chilly - 3 nos

Pressure cook the Dal with salt and water for 2 whistles.
Meanwhile grind the coconut with cumin and red chilly pdr and keep aside.
Once the pressure releases, add the ground coconut mixture and let it boil.
Once it boils, add the leaves and let it boil for 5 minutes or so.
Do a test taste and take it off heat
Heat oil in a pan and add the small onion pieces and fry them till they turn into light brown color.
Now add the red chilly and add the whole mixture to the curry and mix well.

Enjoy over Hot Rice!!!
