Urban foraging has slowly become a rhythm in my life, pausing to notice the little gifts nature leaves behind in our cities. Among these, the drumstick tree is one of my favourite finds. Standing tall along dusty lanes and quiet backyards, it gives us not just tender pods but also the most precious part\u2014its leaves, known as Moringa leaves \/ Drumstick leaves \/ Sajana Sagaw<\/strong> (in Odia). <\/p>\n

These tiny green leaves are slightly bitter, deeply aromatic, and celebrated in traditional kitchens for their healing qualities. My mother always said they \u201ccool the body and strengthen the bones,\u201d adding them to dal whenever she could.Drumstick leaves are naturally a little tough to digest. Which is why the way we cook them matters\u2014ensuring they turn tender while still retaining their flavour and goodness. The leaves are first separated from the stems and washed thoroughly in plenty of water to remove dust.<\/p>\n

And no recipe captures their charm better than Sagaw Muga<\/em>\u2014a warm, earthy bowl of moong dal cooked with drumstick leaves.It\u2019s a dish that tastes like home: simple, nourishing, and honest.<\/p>\n
