Munakkada / Drumsticks Pickle

Munakkada (Drumsticks) Pickle is a tangy and flavorful South Indian condiment made from drumsticks (Moringa pods). The drumsticks are typically cut into small pieces and combined with a blend of spices such as mustard seeds, fenugreek, red chili powder, turmeric, and salt. Some variations also include tamarind or lemon juice for added tanginess. The pickle is then preserved in oil, which helps enhance the flavors and extends its shelf life. Munakkada pickle has a slightly bitter, spicy, and tangy taste. It is usually served with rice, roti, or curries, providing a unique and delicious flavor.
