- Add water and let it boil for a good 5 mins.
- When its boiling add little more salt(if needed) and pepper.Cook for a minute and switch off.
Notes
- You can filter the soup alone and give for kids below 5yrs incase if they find it hard to chew the leaves.
- I do not prefer grinding the leaves as it might give a bitter taste.
- Always cook the drumstick leaves fresh when it is plucked or the next day.
- This is a simple version, you can enhance the taste by adding 1/4 cup coconut milk or even cooked dal water.
