Drumstick Leaves Stir Fry | Murungai Keerai Poriyal

by Jiya Jesh · Updated on July 15, 2022 Sabzi (Veg - Dry curries)| South Indian Recipes

Drumstick leaves stir fry / murungai keerai poriyal recipe is a healthy South Indian style side dish using drumstick leaves. In this recipe murungai keerai / drumstick leaves are stir fried and flavored with fresh grated coconut.

These green leafy vegetables are highly nutritious as they are a rich source of calcium and iron. They are a good source of vitamin A and vitamin C.

I love the unique flavor of drumstick leaves. But I hardly make them as I rarely get to see them in the market.

So when I was able to get hold of these leaves, I made this simple and quick stir fry / poriyal as a side dish for rice and sambar.

Drumstick leaves have a slight bitterness in taste. The addition of coconut does to an extent mask the bitterness of these leaves.
