The only way I've seen it cooked over here is people take a moringa (the whole drumstick – the fruit, the part that has the seeds) not the leaves though, and they slow cook it in what they call a white curry, though everything is called a curry here so I'm not sure if that's the most accurate way to describe it. I don't know off the top of my head what actually goes into it, apart from coconut milk and salt. It's a very light colored dish, almost white, slightly yellow.

I'll try to take a picture of it next time I see it, and inquire about the full list of ingredients. It's eaten with rice + other curries. Never on it's own.

That sounds like India.

It probably is. I have some Indian family and they informed of something rather humorous. Any mixture of spices and or herbs can be a curry. Curry is just general term for a spice mix cooked in a certain way. It varies family to family, region to region, and state to state. There has never been a universal curry. The British just created a toned down generic version of typically utilized spices in Indian cooking for commercial use overseas and labeled it "curry". This what is known as curry today that you can commonly buy in stores but really it can be anything. Technically multiple Mexican, African, or Creole/Cajun spices mixtures could also be called a Curry in the most generic sense of the term.

Yes. I totally get it because I am an Indian myself from Bengal.
