Drumstick Leaves or Moringa leaves have immense benefits! They are so many benefits that these leaves can offer, listing them in this one post is not possible.
But the top most benefits are that these leaves can help cure Asthma, Anaemia , They are also known to help in reducing Blood sugar levels. I should stop selling the benefits of the drumstick leaves.
The Powder is very easy to make and can be stored for almost 20-25 days in an
airtight box. You can get remade Moringa powder on Amazon but i have not used it, i just love the flavor of it mixed with the lentils and the spices add a nice twist to it!
This powder can be served with IDli / Dosa or just with some hot steaming rice. I personally love it with rice. I am and always have been a chutney and podi fan and i love to eat it as my first bite, i just love it like that.
