ABOUT Drumstick pachadi RECIPE

Hi team i am from malayisa ,, This is a very easy recipe and it will not take very long to make. I cook the toor dal first in pressure cooker, The secret to get the gravy a bit thick and good is to cook the toor dal to mere mashable consistency. It should not be mashed but a bit before that you need to stop cooking the toor dal.Adding drumstick will just give a great aroma to any sambar. In fact we South Indians add few pieces of drumstick to sambars just to get the magical aroma. This dish is made with drumstick itself and it will defenitely be a hit
