Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- To prevent drumstick pieces from becoming too tough or stringy, gently scrape the outer skin with a knife before cutting, and avoid overcooking to maintain their tender texture.
- Add a splash of tamarind water or a few chopped tomatoes during cooking to enhance the sour and tangy notes, which complement the earthy flavors of potatoes and drumsticks beautifully.
- For a richer flavor profile, temper the curry with a pinch of asafoetida (hing) along with mustard and cumin seeds—this adds depth and authenticity to the South Indian taste.
- If you prefer a thicker gravy, mash a few potato pieces towards the end of cooking; this naturally thickens the curry without the need for additional thickeners.
