Add enough water to cover the ingredients and pressure cook for 4 whistles (or 5 minutes on low after first whistle).
If using Instant Pot, then pressure cook on "HIGH" for 3 minutes and then NPR (natural pressure release).
When pressure drops, open the pan and then drain the pressure cooked ingredients through a sieve into a saucepan.
Mash the moringa and
other pressure cooked ingredients in the strainer well using a ladle or
large spoon to extract all the pulp through the sieve.
Add water if required to get as much of the pulp
Stir in salt to taste to the moringa broth and mix well.
Bring to a boil and simmer for just 2-3 minutes.
In a small saucepan, heat 2 teaspoon ghee / oil and add ½ teaspoon jeera and black pepper powder.
When the spices sizzle, immediately add to the hot soup.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro/coriander leaves or even some fresh moringa leaves if you have and serve piping hot!
Serve with a squeeze of lemon/lime juice if needed.
Enjoy hot, soothing,
comforting and nutritious moringa or drumstick soup as an appetizer or a
complete meal with a slice of toast or sandwich .
Recipe Notes
To make it healthier, you can add 1/4 cup of moong dal and pressure cook
Just squeeze some lemon/lime juice to add a bit of sourness and acidity to the soup.
If you have moringa leaves, you can use that too or make just with moringa leaves.
Try and mash the pressure cooked moringa etc. when it is hot over a sieve; easy to get the maximum pulp when hot.
