What are Moringa trees?

Parts of the moringa tree such as its flowers, leaves and its drumsticks are used in Indian cuisine, particularly in South India, where this tree is found in plenty.

Moringa flowers are small, round and white. Cooked moringas taste like mushrooms. Just like drumsticks, moringa leaves are added to sambhars, dals, curries and gravies.

They are also added to vegetable dishes, and used to make chutneys, cutlets and cakes. When moringa leaves are added to dosa batter, the dosas turn out crisper.
