Usually I make
drumstick poricha kuzhambu or
sambar( Murungakkai in Tamil, Mulakada in Telugu, Nuggekai in Kannada, Muringakka in Malayalam
) whenever I buy this vegetable. But this time I bought drumstick to try some different recipes with it. When I was browsing, I found this South Indian style drumstick masala curry recipe
here. Basically I love fry/poriyal recipes made using whole garam masala. So I tried this recipe for our lunch yesterday along with
brinjal kara kuzhambu without any second thought. It came out very well. We loved it a lot and got thumbs up from Sendhil. It was a good side dish for dal rice & curd rice. If you like, you can have it with chapathi too. Do try this masala for a change and share your feedback with me
.Lets see how to prepare this yummy drumstick masala for rice.
