Drumstick Leaves Fried Rice
Description:
Drumstick Leaves Fried Rice is a flavorful and nutritious dish, packed with iron-rich drumstick leaves (Moringa) that give the rice a unique taste. This simple fried rice incorporates colorful vegetables like carrots and capsicum for a vibrant look and added texture. My version emphasizes more drumstick leaves and less vegetables, but you can adjust the ratio to suit your taste. Perfect for a quick vegan lunch, this dish offers a delightful way to sneak in healthy greens.
