Instead of making simple Pakoda, you can increase the nutritional value by adding Drumstick leaves. Drumstick leaves are well known for strengthening the immunity power.

Murungai Keerai is widely used for treating Anemia in Tamil Nadu. It is good for diabetes too. Murungai Keerai leaves are often ignored. If your kids do not like the taste of it to eat as a Murungai Keerai Poriyal, try adding it to the yummy Pakoda.
