This recipe is what my friends’ mom used to make and since the kids loved it I copied it. You can as in the original recipe add prawns which taste yummy but I am clueless about cooking them. You are the expert if you are using prawns but I will guarantee the taste!
Ingredients
5 drumsticks, chopped the size about 2 knuckles
½ a coconut, freshly grated
1 tsp rasam powder or sambhar powder (adjust as per taste)
A small ball of tamarind
½ tsp turmeric
½ tsp chilli powder
3 cloves garlic (optional)
1 small ball of jaggery
1 tsp oil
Mustard
Hing/asafoetida
Salt
Coriander
Preparation
1. Place the drumsticks in a wide vessel use just enough water to cover all the drumsticks mix salt. Cover and par boil.
2. Meanwhile grind the coconut, the masala powder, tamarind, turmeric, chilli powder, garlic (if used) and jaggery to a very fine paste using little water. Many times I grind the masala only after I have boiled the drumsticks and I use the water from the drumsticks only.
3. Pour over the masala over the drumstick and bring to a boil. Adjust the seasonings.
4. In a small pan heat the oil, splutter mustard, then hing/asafoetida.
5. Pour over the drumstick curry. Cook till the drumsticks are done.
6. Serve with steaming hot rice.
7. Archana
