DrumStick Curry

 I like drumstick a lot.I used to make only sambar with it ,which taste exceptional.It gives a nice flavor to the dish.I prepared drumstick gravy , my mom used to prepare when i was small,after a very long time i prepared it and everyone in my house liked it.I have not added tomato , u can add if you like it.Tastes great with hot rice, curd rice or rasam.The drumstick should be split into two ,to that the masala gets into the vegetables too.

Ingredients

  7. Corriader Powder - 1 tsp
