Chopped Drumstick (Shevga / Moringa)

Shevga, drumstick, moringa, already chopped into cooking length pieces so nobody has to wrestle a two foot pod at the kitchen counter. We send tender pods, the ones where the skin is still green and the seeds inside have not gone woody.

Drumstick belongs in sambar, in shevgyachya shenganchi amti with coconut and goda masala, in a plain bhaji with potato, and in a Sunday mutton rassa where it takes on the gravy. Cook the pieces eight to ten minutes and no more, or the flesh pulls away from the skin and vanishes into the pot.

These come off our own members' trees and are picked against the day's orders rather than held in storage. Chopped pods dry faster than whole ones, so keep them in a closed box in the fridge and use them within three days.

Sold in 250g and 500g. Browse the rest of the vegetables, and pick up toor dal if amti is the plan.
