Drumstick leaves Egg Podimas/Thoran

Muringaila or Drumstick Leaves can be used in combination with Egg for preparing Thoran. It is a dry dish and goes well with Rice as a side dish. I love drumstick leaves stir-fried either with coconut or with egg. A healthy yet tasty drumstick leaves fry, which is an unknown recipe among many of us. I know that it is a pain to get the greens cleaned, but it compensates with its cooking time, as this fry takes 10 minutes from start to finish to cook up.

Ingredients

Drumstick leaves – 1 cup

Egg – 3

Mustard seeds – 1 tsp

Urad Dal – 1tsp

Curry leaves – 1leaflet

Green chilli – 3

Pearl onion – 8

Garam masala – ½ tsp

Pepper powder – ½ tsp

Oil for seasoning

Salt for taste

Steps

Clean the drumstick leaves from the leaflets.

Heat two spoons of oil in a pan.

Once the oil is hot, add mustard seed and urad dal.

Once the mustard starts spluttering, add green chilies. Whenever adding green chilli, fry until the green chilli flavor is added to the oil. So that the recipe will be a little more tasty.

Now add curry leaves and chopped pearl onions.

Stir the onion until it becomes translucent.

Add Drumstick leaves and fry them until the leaves become translucent. Do not add water. Add garam masala and pepper powder and stir.

Once the leaves are completely fried, break three eggs and add them to the leaves without shells.

Fry it until the egg becomes scrambled and dry.

Now the Egg podimas with drumstick leaves is ready. This can be used as a side dish or breakfast. It is an excellent combination with white rice, Rasam, or water rice.
