Drumstick Red Lentil soup with the goodness of drumstick and lentil is a recipe passed to me by my mother-in-law. Thank you for the lovely contribution to my blog Geetha Amma. Drumsticks have many health benefits and adds deliciousness to any dish. Drumstick is more popularly known as murungakkai in South India. We even cook with the leaves of drumstick tree. We usually make sambar with drumsticks or add it in avial. This recipe is a nice way to use drumsticks. So, sharing the recipe for some comforting drumstick red lentil soup and hope you enjoy it with your family..
