Come spring, the flowers of the moringa tree turn into slender seed pods, which are a great delicacy in many Bengali homes. Meet the strangely addictive and spicy Bengali recipe of kochi sojne data posto made with these tender seed pods (drumsticks), before they ripen into a stiffer version used in various other dishes. The vegetable is considered a superfood as it is rich in vitamins, calcium, and antioxidants. The dish has ample fibre and is quite soft, which is suitable across all ages, who love soft-textured dishes and love their poppy seed dishes.
