How to make Moringa Rice

• First of all, separate the drumstick leaves from the stalk and wash them thoroughly with water two-three times.
• Now put these leaves in the mixer jar. Prepare a thick and smooth green paste by mixing green chillies and a little water (2-3 spoons).
• Now place a kadhai or pan on the gas and heat ghee or oil in it.
• When the oil is hot, add mustard seeds, curry leaves, gram dal and urad dal.
• Fry the pulses until they turn light golden and aromatic.
• After this, add peanuts or cashews and fry for a minute.
• Add finely chopped onion to the tempering and cook until it turns light pink.
• Now add the ground Moringa paste in the mixer.
• Fry this paste on medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes, so that the rawness of the drumstick leaves goes away completely and a good aroma starts coming out.
• When the paste is fried well and starts releasing oil, then slow down the flame.
• Now add pre-cooked rice and salt as per taste in the pan.
• Mix the rice with the spices gently so that the rice grains do not break.
• Cover the pan for 2 minutes so that all the flavors mix in the rice.
• Finally, turn off the gas, squeeze lemon juice on top and serve hot Moringa rice with raita or papad.
