Drumstick moringa leaves thoran

Drumstick or Moringa leaves thoran is a popular South Indian dish made with drumstick leaves (Moringa oleifera) that are finely chopped and cooked with grated coconut, spices, and sometimes lentils or dal.

To prepare the dish, the drumstick leaves are washed and finely chopped, then mixed with grated coconut, chopped onions, green chilies, and some spices such as turmeric powder, cumin seeds, and mustard seeds. The mixture is then cooked on a stovetop until the leaves are tender and the flavors have blended together.

Thorans are typically served as a side dish with rice, sambar, or other South Indian curries. They are known for their simple preparation and fresh, healthy ingredients, making them a popular choice for vegetarians and vegans. Drumstick leaves are also highly nutritious, containing high levels of vitamins and minerals, making this dish not only tasty but also a healthy addition to any meal.

We also have various chicken recipes available including chicken fry and kethal chicken.
