This is a lovely finger licking curry with amazing Moringa/Drumstick flavor. It is a very simple curry which can be made very quickly and is perfect for a busy day. You can have a variation of this curry with Brinjal/Eggplant or Okra in place of Moringa. The speciality of this curry is mainly the tangy taste which makes it go well with Idli, Chappati, Roti and Steamed Rice.
