Drumstick soup recipe, Murungakkai soup recipe – How to make Drumstick soup – Healthy soup recipe with short video.

We South Indians typically add drumstick to sambar, vatha kuzhambu, or poricha kootu. Last time during my trip to India, I saw a few of my friends and relatives. Although they liked the flavour of murungakkai (drumstick), they didn’t like to eat the cooked drumstick because they dislike the fibrous part.

Even at my home, my daughter, who loves the flavour of the murungakkai, doesn’t eat the vegetable in any gravy. So I decided to make a soup, and it is a super hit in the family. So if you have anyone who hates to eat the drumstick, do try this way

Drumstick | murungakkai are loaded with nutrients, and they are a great source of fibre as well. We are not adding any cornstarch to this soup, but we are adding moong dal to this soup, which gives thickness to the soup.

Millet Vegetable soup, a healthy vegetable soup recipe using Indian Millet. Millet Vegetable soup recipe with full video and step-by-step pictures.

This is a one-pot healthy soup recipe using millet. Soups are very much loved by everyone at home. I wanted to incorporate millet into the everyday meal. Usually, we add corn flour as a thickener in making soups. Here we are adding Indian millet, this not only gives the thickness but also makes it very healthy.

What Millet works well for Soups?

Kodo millet, Little millet, Barnyard millet, foxtail millet, and Proso millet work well for soups. You can use millet flour in the last if you don’t get whole millet. I have tried Ragi flour in a vegetable soup and posted it in the blog too.

Recently I did a cookery Demo in Hongkong, themed millet recipes, to promote the goodness of Indian millet among the local people. The event was organised by Indian Embassy. I will share the recipe for the 2 dishes which I showcased at that event.
