Mullakada Tenkaya Pulusu (Drumstick Coconut Curry)

ingredients
2 tbsp Oil
1 tsp Mustard Seeds
1/2 tsp Fenugreek Seeds (Menthulu)
1 large Onion, finely chopped
2-3 sprigs of Curry Leaves
3-4 Drumsticks (Mullakada), cut into 2-inch pieces
2 Tomatoes, finely chopped
1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
Salt to taste
1-2 tsp Red Chilli Powder (adjust as per spice preference)
1 tsp Coriander Powder (Dhaniyalu Podi)
1 tbsp Tamarind Paste
1/4 cup Coconut Paste (fresh or desiccated coconut ground into a paste)

#### *Instructions:*

1. *Prepare the Ingredients:*
Cut the drumsticks into 2-inch pieces and set aside.
Chop onions and tomatoes. Keep them aside.
Prepare coconut paste if using fresh coconut, or use store-bought coconut paste.

2. *Tempering:*
Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a medium-sized cooking vessel or kadai on medium heat.
Add 1 tsp mustard seeds and 1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds. Allow them to splutter for a few seconds, which releases their aroma.
Add 2-3 sprigs of curry leaves to the oil and sauté for a few seconds.

3. *Sauté Onions:*
Add 1 large finely chopped onion to the pan. Sauté the onions until they turn golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.

4. *Add Tomatoes and Cook:*
Add 2 finely chopped tomatoes to the onions. Cook them until they soften and turn pulpy, about 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan.

5. *Spice the Curry:*
Add 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1-2 tsp red chilli powder (adjust to your heat preference), and 1 tsp coriander powder (Dhaniyalu Podi). Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the spices to blend with the tomato-onion mixture.

6. *Add Drumsticks:*
Add the chopped drumsticks (Mullakada) to the pot and stir them with the spice mixture. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, making sure the drumsticks are well coated with the spices.

7. *Add Tamarind Paste:*
Add 1 tbsp tamarind paste to the pot and mix well with the drumsticks and spices. This will give the curry a tangy flavor.

8. *Simmer the Curry:*
Add 3 cups of water to the pot. Stir the mixture and bring it to a boil.
Once the curry comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low. Let the curry simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the drumsticks to cook thoroughly and soften. You can check the drumsticks by pricking them with a fork; they should be tender when done.

9. *Add Coconut Paste:*
Once the drumsticks are tender, add the coconut paste (1/4 cup). Stir well to incorporate the paste into the curry, giving it a creamy texture and enhancing the flavor.
Let the curry simmer for another 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.

10. *Adjust Salt and Spice:*
Taste the curry and adjust salt and spice levels. If you need more tang, you can add a little extra tamarind paste or a pinch of jaggery for sweetness.

11. *Final Touch:*
Once the curry has reached the desired consistency (thick but pourable), remove from heat.

12. *Serve:*
Serve hot Mullakada Tenkaya Pulusu with steamed rice, chapati, or any flatbread of your choice.
