Murungaikeerai Masal Vada

Normally vada is very famous snacks in south India tea times. It’s something different from the normal one. I used to prepare this masal vada by adding drumstick leaves. I know, the cost of drumstick leaves is very high in US. But what can we do???

It is the best medicine for the most common diseases. It reduces the sugar level in blood. So I suggest this for sugar patients. Often, if you take drumstick leaves, you get strong & healthy hair. And this dish is something special for mother’s milk secretion and good dish for pregnant women. It gives major prevention and strengthens body for good baby growth.
