Wow, this is a completely new way of making drumstick leaves poriyal, for me! We make it in a very simple way, with coconut and dry red chillies.
I love your flavourful take on the poriyal. Will be trying this out shortly.
Thank you Priya. Do try and I am sure you will like it.
yummm.. loved the use of vangibhath powder here, Preeti.. I bet that would have upped the flavour of this dish several notches.. great palya to go with anna-saaru or even dal-rice !
Lovely curry Preethi, packed with protein and the healthy benefits of moringa leaves. I’m hoping to get some fresh moringa leaves soon to use them in cooking.
Wow Preethi its a super healthy dish. Full of protein and vitamin A. I am sure taste is also awesome. Lovely share.
Wow super healthy n yummy dish with moringa leaves.. loved the use of the legumes too to make it protein rich. As for the vangi bhat masala glad there is someone like me who uses masalas in anything other than what its intended. 😉
This is an entirely new dish to me di. With healthy goodness of Moringa leaves and protein from the lentils, this is a lovely nutritious side dish to try out. Would love to have it with some hot phulkas. Bookmarking the recipe.
I have heard and read about moringa leaves subzi but never came across the one with moong dal and black eyed beans(lobhiya).. I love the sound of the recipe so flavourful along with being so nutritious! I am sure it’s a complete meal with some hot chapatis!!
This would certainly be a hit at my place considering it has two of my favourite ingredients – Karamani and Moringa. Wholesome with the addition of dal in this recipe, perfect side for chapati and / or rice dishes.
wow!!I usually make it with only coconut. This has so many ingredients and vaangi bhaat powder too. I am surely going to try this very soon.
This recipe is so interesting. As the moringa leaves are very flexible, I add them to most dishes I am making, including thuvar dal with jeera tadka, moong dal while it is being cooked, etc. Your recipe for a murungai keerai poriyal using black eyed beans and moong dal suggests a very different texture and flavours. Im excited about a new type of dish to try out!
Such a super healthy dish. Lovely share. I am sure taste is also awesome.
This is just a wonderful Blog, thanks for the great insight and tips. We really appreciate your effort! Keep up the awesome work!
