Notes

• I have used garam masala to give it more taste, but if you don’t want you can skip adding it as well.
• You can use boiled eggs or sweet potato instead of potatoes.
• Drumsticks can be found in any Indian grocery store.
• I used fresh drumsticks, but if you don’t find fresh ones you can use frozen drumsticks.
• Overcooking drumsticks can make them mushy. If using frozen, add them when adding water.
• Additionally, if you have moringa leaves, you can add them to the curry instead of dried fenugreek. Adding moringa leaves gives the dish a unique and delicious taste.
