Drumstick Masala Mulakkada Masala Recipe
I love Andhra cuisine as it's delicious and spicy just the way I like, I have always been surrounded with people whom belongs to Andhra so it's goes hand in hand for me to taste some very good and authentic Andhra food and this drumstick masala or mulakkada masala(kura) recipe is from Andhra.  My sister does this curry so well that it's always gets finished in no time, simple combination of ingredients makes this curry unbeatable so it's important to use good quality of chilli powder to make it spicy and to get nice red color, I used byadgi chilli powder.

Also use tender and fresh drumstick to get more flavorful and tasty curry, there are few ways of doing this curry and this being the most easy and simple.  I don't buy much drumsticks here as we always don't get nice and tender ones but whenever we get I end up making drumstick dal, a recipe from my in-laws place or some time sambar and it had been quite a while since I made this mulakkada masala as it got tamarind which makes me think a lot due to DH dislike for tamarind but to my surprise DH loved it, so my brother and from then I make this often now.

 If you look for something different from the usual drumstick affair then you should try this curry and I am very sure you will love this one too.  It goes perfectly with steamed rice along with some papad or fryums on side.
