About Drumstick Curry Recipe
First things first, to avoid any confusions, the drumsticks used in this Drumstick Recipe are the pods of the moringa oleifera or moringa tree, and not the chicken drumsticks. In Hindi, drumstick pods are also known as saijan ki phalli. So, which obviously makes this preparation of Drumstick Curry as a vegetarian plant based one. Like I mentioned in the beginning, moringa has many health benefits and the consumption of the various parts of the moringa tree is quite common in Indian cuisine. In this recipe post, you have the lovely Drumstick Curry with North Indian flavors. Other regional cuisines like Bengali cuisine has crispy fried, lightly salted moringa flowers. Top some steaming hot rice with these fried flowers, a dollop of ghee, mix and have it. This is a delicacy in the Bengali food culture. Another Drumstick Recipe is a simple stir-fry with some mustard seeds, turmeric and salt, and also drumsticks cooked with posto (poppy seeds or khus khus). In this particular North Indian style Drumstick Recipe, a paste is made of onion, tomato, ginger and garlic. You begin preparing the dish by cooking this paste with cumin seeds first. This paste adds a body to the Drumstick Curry besides making it flavorful. In addition to the paste and drumsticks, other ingredients that go in this Drumstick Curry are turmeric powder, red chili powder, asafoetida (hing), garam masala powder and some fresh coriander leaves for garnishing. These spices can be adjusted according to your personal preferences. Also, since this Drumstick Recipe is Punjabi style, I would suggest using the Punjabi garam masala powder in it. However, if you don’t have it, you can use your regular garam masala powder too. This onion-tomato based Drumstick Curry is thin, light and a bit spicy. There are full-on flavors of the drumsticks in it, and really pairs well with steamed rice or a rice-based dish like dal khichdi. This curry can also be paired as a side dish with dal-rice combination. Overall, it is a healthy side dish. If you have drumsticks at home, this Drumstick Recipe is an easy and quick dish that you can prepare with them. Usually, I also add drumsticks in a South Indian Avial, Sambar or in dals. I also make a special Drumstick Sambar with it, which is one of those few recipes that I make with drumstick only.
