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.
