Pathiya Samayal #12 | Murungai Keerai Rasam | Drumstick Leaves Rasam


drumstick leaves rasam or murungai ilai rasam

Drumstick leaves are rich in iron.. Having it often increases haemoglobin count.. If women have it often, it is good for our health.. Pregnant women should have drumstick leaves to increase their Hb count.. Also it increases breast milk after delivery.. It is really a good post pregnancy recipe.. There are a number of health benefits in this awesome drumstick leaves.. At the same time, they can cause gas trouble.. It is the reason behind the fact that people hesitate while using it post-pregnancy.. Adding garlic and asafoetida would be the solution for this.. And this drumstick rasam would really make a perfect recipe using drumstick leaves..

The reason why I made a rasam using drumstick leaves is different.. I got only a very few leaves.. I could not make it as a thoran for 2 servings.. Hence I decided to make sambar or rasam.. Try this recipe.. It will be a tasty and healthy one..
