Drumstick Curry Recipe Andhra Style, Mulakkada Curry

Drumstick curry is a traditional curry made down south in onion tomato gravy. It can be served along with rice and it's a popular dish made using drumsticks called mulakkada/munagakaya in telugu lingo. Drumsticks are roughly peeled and cut into two-inch long pieces to add to the curries.

Other south indian curries include, soya chunks , gutti vankaya curry etc...

In this recipe traditionally  tempering is done at the beginning of the cooking process down south but, here I have made in a different version without giving the tempering and it absolutely turned out delicious...

Its a perfect curry to be served with rice.

To get a form of curry I have made use of sliced onions and chopped tomatoes and added to make the curry.

There are many recipes that can be made with this vegetable like drumstick soup and drumstick pickle. This is a wonderful curry with very few ingredients and the key ingredient is drumstick.

This curry can often be called as mulakkada curry using tomatoes or munagakaya kura or munagakaya curry in telugu lingo and is called by this name in telangana and andhra region.

This vegetable is commonly used to make sambar all across south India and some even fry drumsticks and eat as a side dish...
