1 tsp rasam powder or sambhar powder (adjust as per taste)
A small ball of tamarind
½ tsp turmeric

3 cloves garlic (optional)
1 small ball of jaggery

Mustard
Hing/asafoetida
Salt

Preparation

1 1.       Place the drumsticks in a wide vessel use just enough water to cover all the drumsticks mix salt. Cover and par boil. 2 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 3.       Pour over the masala over the drumstick and bring to a boil. Adjust the seasonings. 4 4.       In a small pan heat the oil, splutter mustard, then hing/asafoetida. 5 5.       Pour over the drumstick curry. Cook till the drumsticks are done. 6 6.       Serve with steaming hot rice. 7 Archana

About

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!
