• Salt: 1 tsp or as needed
• Garlic Cloves: 2
• Madras Onions: 4 small

For Tempering:

• Coconut Oil: 30g

• Curry Leaves: 2 sprigs

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Moringa Leaves:
   • Rinse the Moringa leaves thoroughly and drain excess water. Set aside.
2. Grind the Masala:
   • In a blender or food processor, add grated coconut, turmeric powder, salt, garlic cloves, Madras onions, cumin seeds, and water.
   • Grind the ingredients into a fine, smooth paste. Set aside.
3. Temper the Ingredients:
   • Heat coconut oil in a pan over medium heat.
   • Add mustard seeds and allow them to splutter.
   • Then, add broken whole red chilies, sliced Madras onions, and curry leaves. Sauté until the onions turn golden brown.
4. Cooking the Curry:
   • Add the prepared Moringa leaves to the pan. Sauté for a couple of minutes until they are slightly wilted.
   • Once the Moringa leaves are sautéed, add the ground masala paste to the pan. Sauté for a few more minutes to reduce the strong flavors of the onion and garlic.
   • Pour 500ml of water into the pan and mix well. Allow the curry to simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. Serving:
   • Once the curry is cooked and has reached the desired consistency, remove it from heat.
