Moringa has been used in traditional medicine for centuries to treat various ailments. It is believed to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. Some studies suggest that Moringa extracts may help lower blood sugar levels, improve heart health, and support overall well-being.<\/p>\n<p>The leaves, the moringa stick &amp; the flowers are edible &amp; a variety of dishes can be prepared. Drumstick or moringa sticks are added to fish &amp; vegetable curries, stir-fried with coconut.<\/p>\n<p>In North America, frozen moringa sticks are available in Indian stores. One of the dishes that I often make with moringa is Kerala-style stir fry with coconut, a very simple yet nutritious &amp; delicious dish.<\/p>\n<p>This is served as a side dish along with rice or chapati.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30837\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Kerala-style-moringa-coconut-stir-fry.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Kerala-style-moringa-coconut-stir-fry.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Kerala-style-moringa-coconut-stir-fry-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Kerala-style-moringa-coconut-stir-fry-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe mceNonEditable\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Moringa-coconut-stir-fry-recipe.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Kerala Style Moringa &amp; Coconut Stir Fry | Healthy Vegetarian Dish<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Side dish<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT5M\">5 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT30M\">30 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT35M\">35 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">5 People<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coconut oil- 1 1\/2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Mustard seeds- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Dried red chilies, halved- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Curry leaves- 10 leaves<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Shallots, chopped- 3 large shallots or 6 small\/pearl onions<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Moringa sticks or drumsticks- 20, cut into 3-inch slice<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Grated coconut- 1\/2 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chili powder- 1\/2 to 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Turmeric powder- 1\/8 tsp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">I cooked this in a clay pan.
