Take the moong dal in a vessel. Add turmeric powder and water and pressure cook till the dal becomes soft and mushy, Allow for 3-4 whistles. Mash the dal and set it aside
Wash the drumstick leaves thoroughly. Chop the drumstick leaves roughly and set it aside

Add salt and turmeric powder and cook the tomatoes till they are mushy. When the tomato is cooked, add the chopped drumstick leaves and mix well.
Add water and cover the pan with a lid and cook the leaves till it is soft. I cooked for about 10 minutes in medium flame occasionally stirring.
When the drumstick leaves are tender, add the mashed dal and mix well. Also, add the ground coconut-spice paste and mix everything well
Adjust the salt if needed. Also if the stew is very thick add little water and adjust the consistency. Cook for another 2 minutes and switch off the flame

Aunty, I really like your site and your way of explaining the recipes. It helps a lot for a beginner like me ,especially the traditional food. Thank you very much to you both. keep up the good work
Nice recipe. I have given 1 star less, bcoz, no keerai should be cooked covered. All keerais have oxalic acid which boils off. When cooking covered or in pressure cooker, they fall back into keerai. Not good for health. Keerais should be cooked in open pan only.
