Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 30 mins
Total time: 40 mins
Serves: 3

Ingredients:

Drumsticks- 2 to 3(roughly peel it and cut into 2 inch long pieces)
1 cup finely sliced onions
1 cup finely chopped tomatoes
4tsp oil
Salt as taste
3 to 4 garlic cloves crushed (optional or we can use hing)
1 tsp red chilli powder
1/4 tsp tumeric powder
1tsp coriander powder
1 spring curry leaves
2-3tsp freshly chopped coriander leaves
Pinch of mustard
Pinch of cumin seeds
2 green chillies
Water as needed to cook

Let's start the process

1.Take a pan add oil and heat it, add mustard & cumin seeds.Allow them to splutter,add curry leaves nd chopped green chillies and garlic  saute it.

2.Add onions ,sprinkle salt (as per taste) and fry it untill onion changes to golden colour.

3.Now add drumstick pieces, saute it for 2-3 min,to remove the raw smell of drumsticks.

4.Add tomatoes and fry it well.cook it without covering lid so that you will good taste and tomato will become pulpy.

5.Add tumeric powder, coriander powder,red chilli powder and saute it well.

6.Add some water into the pan inorder to cook the drumsticks.Keep it medium flame and cook it 5-10 min.( Instead of water some ppl add few tsp of oil to get rich look.But I use water,it's an option)

7. Stir it in middle so that the curry won't stick to pan.cooking in medium flame will gives good taste to the curry.Now check the drumstick piece,if it becomes tender or not.

8.Once. drumsticks become tender,garnish the curry with coriander leaves.

That's it tasty drumstick tomato curry ready to serve.

Note:

*You can use ginger garlic paste after frying onions.But I d't like that  taste and smell much,so I added crushed garlic.If you d't like garlic smell, fry garlic first to slight golden colour,it's raw smell goes & then add mustard and cumin seeds.
*You can replace garlic with hing.And using coriander powder is also optional(I used in this).
*It's important to maintain medium flame while cooking to add taste nd texture to the curry.
