      Now this is something that is absolutely new to me ! We make a dry curry with the drumstick flowers but never gone beyond that . The fliers are delicious but we normally boil them as they are quite bitter . I see that you haven’t boiled them . Don’t they taste bitter in rice or the rest of the ingredients cover up the bitterness ?

      I have to admit that these would be really very nutritious , and interesting as well .

      Sure an interesting pulao. I didn't know these flowers are used in cooking. What kind of flavor does these flowers add to the rice?

      We do get this occasionally in farmers market, but I have used it for dry saute and rasam. This pulao recipe is amazing. I will try this next time I get the poo.

      This is such a brilliant idea to use the flowers in pulao. We usually make poriyal with it back in periyakulam. We had a tree so we didn't have to buy them.

      I have never used drumstick leaves or flowers and would love to try this, though I doubt I might source the flowers here. The pulao really looks very fragnant and delicious
