This South Indian style subzi will enable you to appreciate the naturally interesting taste of drumstick leaves, because it does not use heavy masalas.

Just a traditional tempering and a mixture of coconut and minimal spices is enough to accentuate the taste of drumstick leaves. Make sure you get tender drumstick leaves from the market – these not only cook fast, but also have a pleasant, slightly-sweet, slightly-bitter flavour.

Serve the Drumstick Leaves Dry Subzi with rice and dal . You can also try other recipes like Paneer Sabji, Kadai or Onion and Karela Subzi .
