drumstick masala recipe – one of the most simplest and easiest north indian curry made with drumsticks. these drumsticks (in hindi saijan ki phalli) are pods of the plant  moringa oleifera and not chicken drumsticks. mentioning this, as on a few of my previous drumstick posts, i get comments mentioning which drumsticks i am using.

this onion tomato based curry is thin, light and a bit spicy. it has got full on flavors of the drumsticks in it. goes well with steamed rice or a rice based dish like chana dal khichdi or moong dal khichdi.

this is an easy and quick curry recipe if you have drumsticks at home. usually i add drumsticks in sambar or in dals. this is one of those few recipes which i make with drumstick only. this drumstick curry can also be paired as a side dish with dal-rice combination. its overall a healthy side dish.

if you are looking for more drumstick recipes then do check drumstick rasam, drumstick dal, mango dal and goan dal with drumsticks.
