Drumstick Masala

Drumstick Masala Recipe | Munakkaya Masala

Drumstick Masala is a tasty and simple curry which is served with plain rice or even with roti, it will taste delicious. Usually, I prepare sambar with drumstick but this the first time I tried making this masala with ginger garlic paste, chilli powder and coriander powder. The masala curry came out very well and we enjoyed it.
