Drum stick (Moringakka) Thoran

Another drum stick delicacy today, however with a difference! This one is made out of the soft flesh inside the drum sticks, not with the sticks as is.


Ingredients:

1. Drum stick       1 cup (split drumstick lengthwise and take out the soft flesh alone with a small knife or spoon).

2. Coconut            1/2cup, grated
    Onion small      6 no   
    Green chilly      5 no
    Turmeric Powder   1 tsp
4. Mustard            1tsp
5. Curry leaves     1 spring
6. Salt                    as needed
7. Ghee  or Coconut oil   2 tbsp


Method of Preparation:

1. Grind the items under 2 (grated coconut, small onion, green chilly, turmeric powder)  using a mixer with a little water. Or you can smash them alternatively.

2. Heat ghee in a pan and sprinkle in mustard seeds.When they start sputtering add curry leaves. Add the ground coconut mixture to this, stir well. In to this mixture add the drum sticks (item under 1), keep it on low flame till the drum sticks are cooked well.
