Drumstick leaves are so nutritious but you can never make children eat it because of its bitter taste. When I was a kid, my mom used to prepare adai with these leaves which is so delicious and we used to relish it with out complaining. This is a great way of sneaking drumstick leaves in the menu. Today is the first day of second week in the tenth edition of Blogging Marathon. I have chosen Deceptively Delicious Treats For Kids as the theme. This adai is very tasty when you use some extra oil and cook it on low flame. This goes very well with sambar and chutney. I love to have it as it is because adai itself has red chilly in it. This also has coconut pieces which gives a nice crunch when you bite into it.
