As this is summer season in Kerala drumsticks are available in plenty.And we cook drumstick in many ways but i think we do not use its flowers for cooking.And i do not know whether it is available in the market or not .In my house there is a very big tree of drumstick and in this summer season it is fully flowered with yellowish white flowers.You can collect the flowers by spreading a sheet of paper under the tree.
