Drumstick Avial Recipe
Drumstick, This is a hard veggies, when you cook it the inside flesh get sweet and succulent. You suck the flesh out and throw away the hard outer part. Amma cooks with this often, she throws it in pulikulambu, karakulambu, sambar and many other things. I use it very rarely. But amma bought a big bunch of this vegetable for pongal and i know i am gonna make some avial with it.
Avial is an Indian dish that originated in the Indian states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Udupi. It is a thick stew of 13 vegetables and coconut commonly found in the Western Ghats, seasoned with coconut oil and curry leaves.
About Drumstick Avial Recipe
Drum Stick is also known as moringa. While the rest of the world has lauded moringa as a superfood, it has long been a staple of the South Indian diet. Moringa is also the botanical name (Moringa Oleifera) for drumstick, which gets its name from Murungai (Tamil) or Muringa(Spanish) (Malayalam). While it grows in most parts of India, it is
most likely more common in Southern India. It's also popular in Burma, Cambodia, and Thailand, where the drumstick is frequently cooked with seafood in curries. Drumstick trees are deeply rooted in Southern Indian folklore and legends.

Coconut :
Coconut meat is delicious and slightly sweet, and it can be eaten raw or dried. It is used to make a variety of products, including coconut milk, cream, and oil.
Dry Red Chillies :
Red chilies were introduced to India by Portuguese traders from Mexico. India is now the world leader in the cultivation of dry red chilies. Red chilies are more commonly consumed in hotter regions of India, such as Rajasthan, because they help to keep the blood clean and thin.
