Spicy Drumstick Fry

spicy drumstick fry
I  recollect a colleague of mine from Northern part of India telling that in their menu,  he had never seen drumstick. When he along with his friends hired a cook, he prepared a drumstick curry with rotis. These bunch of friends apparently told cook, if at all you prepare anything with this vegetable, we are going to find replacement for you. I pity – not the cook but this bunch of friends as they fail to explore potential of drumsticks. One can make several dishes out of drumsticks. They are healthy and tasty. This spicy drumstick fry is invention of my wife – Its simple, quick to prepare, healthy and tasty. A typical side dish that fits well in today’s fast paced life. If there are kids in family, they have strange liking for drumsticks and nothing like it.

Pictorial :
Cut, peel drumstick and put it in water. Cook them with a pinch of salt.

    This looks great! We have a Moringa tree and it blessed us with DOZENS of drumsticks that I never even knew were edible until I saw them in my local international grocery store. Thank you!
