We learned about idlis in one of our last blogs. Idlis, when combined with sambar and coconut chutney, make for a wholesome meal.
For idli-sambar lovers, drumstick also known as Saragawa, is a must-have addition in the tangy sambar curry.
What is a drumstick?
For the novice, drumstick is a humble green veggie, cultivated in several regions of India. It has excellent therapeutic values and high nutrition content.
Fresh drumstick is available as a long stem. For preparing sambar, the long drumstick stem is cut into small pieces and steam cooked with other vegetables and lentils.
Once cooked, it is fun to hold one end of the drumstick in between your fingers and the other end in your mouth and gently suck its gentle and sensitive pods.
You can also use drumstick as an addition in meat curries, rasam stews, and soups. You can also just boil and eat the drumstick pods to avail its benefits. I personally boil a few drumstick stems every morning and suck on the soft pulp.
Frozen drumsticks
Sometimes fresh drumsticks are hard to find. Good part is that frozen drumsticks are also easily available.
