tangy egg-drumstick curry(mullakkaya-egg pulusu)

Somehow my husband likes curries with different combinations like ridgegaurd-drumstick,ridgegaurd-dry shrimp etc.Similarly,he likes this egg-drumstick curry a lot because of its spicy and tangy taste.

Ingredients:

3 boiled eggs,
12 pieces of drumsticks,
3 onions(finely chopped),
2 ripe tomatoes,
1 spoon thick tamarind pulp,
2 green chillies,
1 spoon cumin,
1 spoon mustard seeds,
1 spoon urad dal,
2 pods garlic,
2 spoons oil,
1 strand curry leaves,
1/4 spoon turmeric,
salt acc to taste,
red chilli powder acc to taste,
coriander for garnish.

Procedure:

• take a pan,heat oil and then add garlic,cumin,mustard,urad dal and curry leaves till it splutters.
• put in onions,green chillies and salt and saute till translucent.
• now add the turmeric powder and drumsticks to it and close with a lid.
• when the drumstick becomes a bit soft,add the tomatoes and red chilli powder and saute till soft.
• take the eggs and make 3-4 small slits on each of them so as to allow the penetration of the sour flavour.
  
• now add eggs and also the tamarind pulp.cook on low flame with lid for 6-7 minutes and garnish with coriander.

It tastes yummy with hot steamed rice.
