Drumstick, also known as sajan jali or moringa pod, is a long, slender vegetable widely used in South Indian and regional dishes. It has a firm outer shell and soft, pulpy interior that absorbs spices well when cooked. Commonly added to sambhar, curries, and stews, drumstick lends a distinct taste and texture to meals. The fibrous exterior is typically chewed and discarded after cooking, while the inner pulp is enjoyed for its flavor. Choose drumsticks that are green, smooth, and firm for best use. It�s a seasonal favorite known for its culinary use in traditional and everyday recipes.
