Drumstick Leaves Rasam or Murungai Keerai Rasam is popular rasam variety made with drumstick leaves which makes this rasam extra healthy and delicious.  If you had enough of usual drumstick leaves poriyal or kootu or dal then this rasam comes as good option though the only thing is plucking the leaves which is time consuming task but the effect gets really paid off.  We can also have this rasam as soup specially when feeling unwell it's works like magic.


We are getting drumstick leaves almost weekly now and my mil is the one doing the cleaning and plucking part so my job becomes more easy from each batch I keep little leaves and make rasam just to relish myself.

You can also skip the toor dal in this recipe and make only with tamarind water as I always make dal so I just add little mashed dal and dal cooked water to make rasam more tasty and nutritious.  This is also no onion no garlic recipe, if you wish you can add minced garlic in tadka/tempering.  You can also check my paruppu rasam recipes.
