Last time, when I&#8217;d visited my parent&#8217;s, my mom had made many dishes with drumstick. I am not talking about chicken drumstick, this is vegetarian drumstick which looks like drumsticks, hence the name. It&#8217;s widely available in South India, I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s available in North India. However, I am so glad that fresh drumsticks are always seen at the Indian store in my city. Not just the vegetable, the leaves are used for cooking too. In fact, the leaves are rich in Iron and other essential vitamins and minerals. Unfortunately, I haven&#8217;t seen leaves being sold in US and Canada.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12720\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/drumstick1.jpg\" alt=\"drumstick1\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/drumstick1.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/drumstick1-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Cut drumsticks<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12721\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/drumstick.jpg\" alt=\"drumstick\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/drumstick.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/drumstick-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The other day, when I went shopping at the Indian store I couldn&#8217;t resist buying the fresh and crisp drumsticks. Drumsticks shouldn&#8217;t be kept for long as it will\u00a0dry up fast. You can freeze it, but it doesn&#8217;t taste that good when kept in the freezer. So, I always try to cook it right away. I made this simple drumstick and coconut curry. This curry is usually served along with spicy fish curry and rice; this mild tasting curry compensates the very spicy fish curry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Health benefits of Drumstick leaves:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cook the drumstick leaves in water along with ground pepper and salt. Strain the water and drink it. It helps to increase the haemoglobin level in our body.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12716\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/drumstick-coconut-curry1.jpg\" alt=\"drumstick coconut curry\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/drumstick-coconut-curry1.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/drumstick-coconut-curry1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/drumstick-coconut-curry1-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\">\t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/drumstick-coconut-curry.jpg\" \/><span class=\"item ERName\">Drumstick Coconut Curry or Muringakka Thenga ozhichu kootan<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Vegetable Curry<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT5M\">5 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT10M\">10 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT15M\">15 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">5 People<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For grinding[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coconut, grated- 1 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Green chilies, chopped- 2 or 3<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Turmeric powder- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cumin seeds- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Small onions, chopped- 3<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Water- 1 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For making curry[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Oil- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Mustard seeds- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Curry leaves- 1 sprig<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Small onions, cut long- 10 (or use 4 large shallots)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Drumsticks, cut 3 inch long- 3<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Combine all the above mentioned ingredients &#8220;for grinding&#8221; in a blender and grind to a smooth paste.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Place a saucepan or clay pot over medium heat.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add oil, let it turn hot.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add mustard seeds, let it splutter.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add curry leaves, small onions and a few pinches of salt, saute till translucent.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add drumstick and add 1\/4 cup water.
