Drumstick Rice Curry

Drumstick Rice Curry... This is my Mom's recipe. This is a very simple curry but tastes delicious. My mom makes this recipe quite often.   

 

My mom stayed with me for few days in SA. We had lots of fun, recollected many old memories and this is one of them. As kids we used to finish it even before it reached the dining table. I asked my mom to make this for me and it tasted as wonderful as it used to be. I had Drumstick Potato curry, Drumstick Tomato Curry many times but this always remained my favorite.
