Step 1

Wash drumsticks under running water. If not tender scrape off the skin lightly. Wash and chop to finger length pieces. Cube potatoes to medium sized pieces, and add them to a bowl of water until used.

Step 2

Add oil to a pan and heat. Add mustard and cumin. When they begin to splutter, add curry leaves, green chilies and finely chopped onions. Fry until transparent or pink stirring often.

Step 3

Add drumsticks and potatoes. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Add chopped tomatoes, salt and turmeric. I usually deseed the tomatoes and use for this recipe. Fry until the tomatoes turn mushy.

Step 4

Then add red chili powder and fry for 2 minutes. If you wish to add garam masala or coriander powder add it now.

Step 5

Pour water just enough to cover the drumsticks and potatoes. Cover and cook till the veggies are soft cooked. Garnish drumstick gravy with coriander leaves. Serve with plain rice & ghee.
