MURUNGAKKAI PARUPPU MASIYAL/DRUMSTICK DHAL MASH

Drumstick has always been my favourite vegetable. It is a rich of iron and moringa leaves soup is a must have during pregnancy. Most kids in the family find it lazy to separate the fleshy part and eat. When my MIL introduced this recipe to us, none of the mothers had worries of kids neglecting drumstick. The following recipe can be your baby food post 6 months. It contains plenty of iron and protein. This can be mixed with rice or accompany rice.
