Our ancestors knew the benefits of Moringa/ Drumstick and used it in a variety of preparations. The leaves, flowers or the vegetable itself was included once a week in one’s diet. Today, having realised it’s value, moringa powder is packaged and sold as a nutrient. No packaged food can ever replace the nutritive value of the original. Here is a soup that can be seasoned as per choice. Today, I have used finely chopped garlic and onion as seasoning.
Ingredients:
300 gms Drumsticks
1 tbsp pepper powder
15 cloves of garlic finely chopped
2 medium sized onions finely chopped
Salt
2 tbsps butter.
Method:
Cut the drumsticks into long pieces and pressure cook in 250 ml of water to three whistles. After it has cooled, open the drumsticks and remove the pulp. Blend it in the mixer and tip it into a pan. Add water to the drumstick residue and crush to extract the pulp adhering to it. Repeat the process twice. Pour this water into the blended pulp. Add salt and pepper and transfer it to the stove. Bring to a boil. Heat the butter in a pan. Add the garlic and roast to a golden brown. Drop in the onions and roast till translucent. Drop this seasoning into the boiling soup. Simmer for a couple of minutes to allow the flavours to infuse. Switch off. Serve with a blob of butter.
