You have seen my mother's home garden already, here is a pic from her friend's. Awesome size for the drumsticks, isn't? Taste and the droools, I can so imagine!
Holy Moringa! You just gave lots of old Asian aunties a moringa orgasm! Move over coconut and turmeric, Moringa is the new dietary craze in town. I know folks who are growing these in massive containers in their backyards. It is nonnative to this region and frankly other than the areas bordering Mexico I doubt the US has the hardiness zones to grow a healthy tree. But people persist against the odds. Apparently it is manna from heaven, the secret to eternal youth and vitality. Vogue magazine called it the secret to beauty from within. Someone should just tell Americans to switch to an Indian diet. What is the point in adopting it piecemeal? My Mom Cooked Moringa Before It Was A Superfood Is Moringa The Next Superfood? Small Farmers In California Are Banking On It Now I need to find me a moringa tree. Pronto! Until then drumstick sambar will do! : )
Brinjals are for elevated palates. Bandar kya jane brinjal ka swad! (What would a monkey know about the flavor of brinjals!) Lovely sambar! What's the leafy green stuff other than drumsticks?
I am addressing a few difficult issues including the loss of my mother and I expect to be functional from the beginning of May. I miss my friends in IL too.
