Drumstick leaves (Moringa leaves) prawns curry

The benefits of consuming moringa leaves are easily researchable all over the internet so I would not even attempt to ‘educate’ anyone. Here is a link that you can read at your leisure if you like – https://pharmeasy.in/blog/16-health-benefits-of-moringa-leaves/

I am extremely happy now that I know where to buy them fresh in UK and the shop is not too far away from my home. I am even more happier with the fact that my very British husband says he loves them. He actually showed me his cleaned plate earlier, hmm….. like a dog has licked it!

My mind is now racing with different methods of cooking, recipes on using it and so on since the hubby don’t mind eating it. Moringa has a bit of an acquired taste. To me it tasted a lot like New Zealand’s spinach. The normal European spinach don’t have much of a strong taste. (my opinion) Then you have the Asian spinach which is stronger in taste. Next to me is this moringa leaves and followed by New Zealand spinach that I don’t quite fancy. I grew them for a few summers and we eat till scared. A bit on the rough side, not smooth like European spinach.

As with all my dishes I would say, make it your own. You could add more chillies, pinch of sugar etc but I am very careful with carbohydrates/sugar and hidden sugars because I am a diabetic and have been for 25 years and I truly believe that it is due to self control that I am not yet on insulin. However I do not believe in eating ‘diabetic’ food. I eat EVERYTHING I like in moderation. I want to leave this world not only having lived my life but ENJOYED it.
