Drumstick Flowers are edible and taste like mushrooms or meaty. These are also used to make curry, chutney, dal and dosa.
My aaji/granny used to make these kebabs. Because we children didn't eat drumstick flower curry and she was very insistent that we had to eat all kind of seasonal vegetables. Drumstick flowers prevent frequent infections of the throat, chest and skin.
