Drumstick Greens or Leaves Pakoras are a delicious treat on a rainy day. These healthy and nutritious Greens are a treasure house of Iron. These are absolutely beneficial and also tastes equally delicious. These are good source of Fiber and rich in antioxidants too.
These are versatile and add a zing to your Stews, Salads, Soups, Fritters etc. You can make use of them in your daily cooking with an umpteen number of choices. These contain a large number of Phytonutrients that makes our meal a perfect one on any given day.
I have made these yummy Fritters today for Iftaar meals for a few people. The colour itself looks so inviting and refreshing. And the taste and flavour was phenomenal with the crunch of the Greens along with the simple spices that were used. Also I had made use of these Pakoras in the Kadhi that I made later in the evening for a sumptuous Dinner.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
