This is a healthy soup and very easy to prepare. This is a good diet for diabetics because it controls sugar. My MIL and my Mom used to drink it often because of diabetics. I and my Hubby drink it twice a week for reducing fat.

very healthy drink. I am hunting for murungai keerai. I am not getting it.. When ever i go to buy this, they dont have it in stock.. refreshing drink..
Very nice and healthy soup.
So you don’t blend it. Will this give supply all the nutrients. I’m looking for drumstick leaves recipes which r easy. They are very rich in iron. Is this a traditional recipe? If so then I’ll use as is. Cos I believe that our ancestors have done all the research. – pp
