Ingredients

  • 5 piece Moringa Pods
  • 1-2 Tablespoons oil
  • 1 small onion sliced
  • 1 piece chili peppers optional
  • 6-8 piece curry leaves optional
  • 1 tomato diced
  • 1 ½ cups Goan Red Curry Paste
  • 2 ½ cups Water mixed with concentrated Stock
  • pinch salt
  • 1 Tablespoon tomato sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash your moringa pods properly and cut them a bit to make it easier to manage. Peel the moringa pods partially to get rid of some of the outer toughness.
  2. Then cut the moringa pods into 2-inch pieces. Try to cut so that the bulby seeds are in the center of each cut moringa pod.
  3. Heat up a shallow pan with the oil and fry your onions soft. At this point, you can also add the green chili and curry leaves (which are both optional).
  4. Then keep on stir cooking and add the tomato pieces, as well as the moringa pod pieces. Stir cook for a minute or two on medium to high heat.
  5. Now you can add the curry paste. Mix it all well.
  6. At this point, you can pour in the water mixed with the concentrated stock (or just packet broth). Give it a good mix again.
  7. Season with salt and add the tomato paste.
  8. Mix it all again and cook covered for about 18 minutes.

Notes

  • Use fresh moringa pods, they should be firm and green. You can buy them in your local Asian specialty store.
  • You can add fresh green chili pepper to add some heat to the dish
  • Try to get fresh or dry curry leaves, they add a lot of flavor to the dish.
  • Moringa Pods are also known as drumsticks. I'm avoiding this name because it gets confused with chicken legs.
  • Only use the red Goan curry paste for this curry. Anything else (such as Thai curry paste) won't be the same.
