Murungai Keerai also known as moringa is one healthy green available loaded with iron.The first food most physician would recommend for an anemic patient would be this green.Most houses have this wonder green tree in their backyard.Only the leaf separating part from the stalk is a bit time-consuming.To do that job easier just keep this green in a poly bag in the fridge overnight.Next morning all the leaves would have fallen from the stick.Collect the leaves and make dishes with it.
Other moringa leaves recipes in my blog includes moringa adai, moringa soup, moringa leaves dal kuzhambu.
