• Now add the saved drumstick broth ( that is the water where the drumsticks are cooked ) to this and add the ground pulp.
• Allow them to boil for a minute and add the cumin powder, salt, pepper powder and mix them. Take care while adding the salt because we have already added the salt to the drumsticks while cooking.

Notes

When you're giving to Children instead of black pepper you can add white pepper powder or reduce the black pepper and give.

If you want more spicy soup you can add one green chili while boiling the drumsticks

If you want more thicker soup you can add corn flour mixed with a little milk and add it to the soup and boil for another 4 to 5 minutes.
