Notes
Like Fish Curry, this also taste good next day.
I always prepare tamarind extract and keep it fridge. It will be medium consistency neither too thick nor too thin. you can use lemon size tamarind to make extract for this curry.
Adjust the spice powders according to your taste.
You can try with Brinjal instead of Drumstick
