This is a simple and easy recipe with Drumsticks.My kids love anything made with drumsticks as they like to  chew on them for a long time.Particularly in Andhra we use it in rasam,sambar,majjigapulusu(kadi) as well as in curries.Even a nice and tasty pickle(Achar) is made out of these drumsticks in Andhra.Drumstick as well as drumstick leaves are very good for health.

Preparation :

I thawed the frozen drumsticks and then cooked them in the cooker for 2 whistles.While the pressure was cooling down I cut the green pepper into 2inch size pieces and diced the onions and tomatoes into small pieces.

Place a pan on the stove on med-high heat and pour the oil into it.Once the oil is heated up add half the onion pieces in it and fry till they turn golden.

Now add all the green pepper and turmeric to the onions and stir well.

While that is cooking make a paste of the ginger,garlic,poppy seeds,cumin seeds and coriander seeds.Now add this paste to the pan and stir well .Add a pinch of salt and cook it till the raw smell is gone.

Now blend the tomato pieces and rest of the onion pieces and add this paste to the pan of spiced veggies and stir well and cook.

Now take the drumsticks from the cooker and add them to the spiced veg mix in the pan.Add paprika and salt and let it cook till all the spices blend in well.Garnish with cilantro.

Yummy Drumstick curry is ready to be served with hot rice.
