Murungakkai Masala is my all time favorite…even when I was a fuzzy eater I like drumstick and potato very much.This recipe is mostly the same as how I made cabbage curry but I wanted to post it as many of you’all asked me for the recipe when I posted mango sambar where the drumstick curry was at the side 🙂 Being this veggie lover, I am surprised to see that this is the 2nd drumstick recipe I am posting…have to look out for more drumstick recipes to post here 🙂

Notes
- If you don't like the spices flavour then here is an alternate : for tempering add mustard seeds and urad dal and for grinding grind coconut with jeera. You can replace red chilli powder with sambar powder.
- The consistency is purely your choice. You can even cook for few more mins to make it nicely roasted till dry or switch off earlier with gravy. I made it semi dry for mixing with rice.
- Choose tender drumstick.
- You can even add 1 tomato while sauteing onion.
