How to make Drumstick soup with step by step images

1. Heat water in pressure cooker, add salt and mix well. When it starts to boil add drumstick pieces and cook for 2 whistles.(If not using pressure cooker cook it in a pot of water with saltuntil drumstick get soft)
   
2. After the pressure has subsided open the cooker and drain the water in a bowl using a colander/ strainer and keep it aside as it contains all the nutrition which we will use in making soup. Allow the drumstick to cool a bit. When the drumstick is warm enough to handle open each drumstick and scoop of all the flesh/ pulp using a spoon and discard the outer green part.
   
3. Repeat the process till all the drumstick is complete. The green part should be left with no flesh. Keep the flesh aside.
   
4. In a hand mortar add peppercorn, cumin seeds and garlic. Using a pestle crush it coarse and keep it aside.
   
5. Heat oil in a pan/ cooker add chopped onion and saute really well. Now add the crushed peppercorn, cumin and garlic. Saute well for a minute or 2 till the raw flavor goes.
   
6. Now add the drumstick flesh/ pulp/ meat to it and mix well.
   
7. Now add the water with which drumstick was cooked along with salt. Mix well and allow it to boil well. After 2 to 3 minutes of boiling put off the flame and serve it hot with little cilantro as garnish!
