Yesterday our neighbours gave us a bunch of Drumstick leaves to cook with. And this morning a friend brought a bundle of drumsticks that flew in from Florida.
In the middle is Muringayila parippu curry, the one with potatoes is the dry curry suggested by the neighbour who gave the leaves. The other one is the sambhar with drumsticks. On the side are black eyed peas from our garden.

The first time, I saw a drumstick tree is in Shankarpally. On the way to my sister's school, there was a small house with both the front and back accesible. In the front, they had this drumstick tree and in the back, the lady had a veggie patch. she gave us a bunch of bacchali aaku, one of my mom's favourite. She liked all green leafy vegetables. She liked them with green chillies and some soaked dal for crunch.
In south India, the drumsticks are cut finger size and boiled in sambar. The pulp is soft jelly like with pea sized seeds. You can eat the seeds too, but the hard rind is discarded. In the north, they are cut into 1/2 finger sizes and eaten whole in a curry.
This is how my roomate made drumstick sambhar
