DRUMSTICK BLOSSOM PORIYAL

These are very good in Iron and a good agent of anti / viruses and also have some medicinal value. I truly miss having drumstick flowers these days :(
Here luckily after so many years, when we had a visit to our relatives place in Coimbatore, there my aunt had kept for me few stock from her garden, knowing I love them like hell. Aww that's so sweet of her :) Now coming back to the recipe, these flowers are soo tender that it gets cooked in a min. The mix of coconut with Indian spices combine together brings out the heavenly flavours of each ingredients.
