They sell it in capsule and powder forms but I prefer to use fresh morniga leaves from our farm and add it to soup (Tinola). Tinola is a famous soup made in the Philippines. My daughter and i love it and try to have it once a week especially if someone at home is not feeling well. We usually have it with brown/white rice.
Recipe (2persons)
½ a ginger
½ a chicken
A few pieces of white papaya or squash
¼ cup of fresh morniga leaves
5 lemongrass leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
Sautee the onion and ginger then add the chicken until it is brown. Add water and boil the chicken until it is cooked (about 30 minutes).
Add the papaya/squash, moringa and lemongrass leaves, salt and pepper for another 10/15 minutes.
Thats it!
It is so simple to make, and so nutritious. Did i mention that it helps new mommies with lactation?! No wonder my mum in law used to give me some of this soup everyday when I was nursing!
salams dear.. thx so much 4 sharing yr experience n putting it all together.
ReplyDeletei finally found omani person sharing a healthy blog!!
i started this journey 2 years back too n im struggling in finding healthy items in grocery stores here in Muscat.
I would really appreciate if you share where can be the ingredients be found.
for example lemon grass leaves?
thx n well done again
Thank you so much for your comments dear, very much appreciated :)
DeleteHonestly it is not easy to find everything here in Oman. The best places to get healthy ingredients are at sultan center or Al fair. Lulu also has a section where they have some good stuff.
Regarding the lemon grass leaves we get them from our farm. You will probably find them in nurseries at al seeb or al hail areas. The best way is to get it from those nurseries and plant them in your own garden! That way you can always have them. At home we even make tea with lemongrass it is so good :)
This sounds and looks so yummy! 😋
ReplyDeleteIt is, and so good for you :)
