This vegetable stew includes a lot of ingredients, including “drumstick” – a vegetable from the fruit of the “drumstick tree” or moringa. If you don’t have or can’t find drumstick, you can leave it out, or use some other firm vegetable as a substitute. Learn more at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moringa_oleifera#Names
