The soft eggplant along with the drumstick makes for a great combination. The masala was very tasty with curd rice. A simple side dish which goes well with mild curry like any sambar, sodhi.Drumsticks are thin and slender stick shaped -hard outside and fleshy inside. They are rich in calcium and phosphorus.The flowers too are cooked and in some places the roots as well. Adding sambar powder to the spice mix really brings out the flavors. A matching combo of brinjal and drumstick usually adds a little kick to your daily meal.

Notes
Brinjals must always be soaked in water. Little curd or salt or lemon juice can be added to the water so that it won’t turns brown or black.
Add some tamarind pulp (if using readymade, 1 tbsp. will do) and coconut powder to this curry which makes this masala sweeter as well as lil bit tangy.
Garlic flakes can be added in place of ginger garlic paste. (optional)
