Mulakkadi Pachadi is a pickle made from Moringa or drumsticks. Moringa has gained popularity in recent years and is recognised as a superfood. Drumstick leaves, seeds, pods, fruits and flowers all are known for their medicinal properties.

Also, drumsticks are delicious and so is this Mulakkadi Pachadi. This pickle is an all-season pickle as drumsticks are available throughout the year. 

Mulakkadi Pachadi is hot, spicy and zesty. Served with rice or dal, this fingerlicking Mulakkadi Pachadi enhances your meal.
