THREE SIMPLE DRUMSTICK RECIPES /HEALTHY 3 DRUMSTICKS RECIPES

 

Hi everybody

I am eager to share three simple drumstick recipes with you. In my previous blog I had shared you a

 drumstick recipe and food value of drumsticks (https://tastesdifferent.blogspot.com/2021/04/drumstick-potato-

currydanta-aloor-dalna.html). You may check the link.

I like drumsticks so much. I cooked these three drumsticks dishes in my own ways; I think you will like this.

Let’s start the recipes:

1) DRUMSTICK WITH TAMARIND”

I love sour taste in many dishes. So my first one dish is with tamarind.

INGREDIENTS: Tamarind: 50 grams.

Drumsticks: ½ kg

Turmeric powder: 1/2 teaspoon

Red chili powered: 1 teaspoon

For tempering:

Black cumin seed (kalonji): 1 teaspoon

Green chili: 1

Mustard oil: 2 tablespoons.

Salt according to your taste.

Jaggery powder: 2 to 3 tablespoons

How to cook: Take a bowl and soak tamarind in water for few minutes .Take out tamarind pulp from that. Cut

 drumsticks in 3 to 4 inches sizes. Peel off the skin properly and wash with water. Keep aside the pieces. Place the

 karai on gas oven, switch on the gas. Pour mustard oil; add black cumin seeds and 1 green chili. After 2 to 3 minutes a

 good aroma will come out, now add drumsticks and stir .Add turmeric powder and red chili powder after that and again

 stir. Pour some water to boil drumsticks, add salt accordingly.

When drumsticks properly boiled add tamarind pulp and jaggery powder .Mix all in a nice way and dry .I use jaggery

 powder, you may add sugar but jaggery is healthier than sugar. This is a nice sweet and sour dish of drumsticks which

 is so palatable and yummy also.

You will try in your kitchen.

2) DRUMSTICK IN SESAME SEED:

The next recipe is drumstick with sesame seed.

First I will discuss about benefits of sesame seeds in simple way.

Sesame seeds are  full of fibers.1) it may lower cholesterol and triglycerides,2)it may help to lower

 blood pressure,3)it supports healthy bones,4)it helps in blood cell formation,5)it may aid blood sugar

 level,6) it is rich in antioxidants and so boost  immune system,8)also support thyroid health,9)during

 menopause it aids in hormone balance,10)it is a good source of vitamin B.

The last one is that it is very easy to add in your diet. You can use it directly in your dishes by

 sprinkling whole sesame seeds or by making a smooth paste; you can add it.

INGREDIENTS;

Drumsticks: ½ kg

Sesame seeds: 1 cup

Red tomato: 1

Green tomato: 1(it is optional, as I like sour I always prefer to add anything like this.)

Green chili: 2

Turmeric powder: ½ teaspoon

Mustard oil: 2 tablespoons

Salt: according to your taste.

PROCESS:

1)     Cut (3 inches sizes) and peel off drumsticks as before. Wash with fresh water. Boil drumsticks in karai. Don’t use

 pressure cooker, over boiled drumsticks will hamper your dish. Boil for only 2 to 3 minutes, it will remain as it is. Drain out

 water from boiled drumsticks.

2)     Make a paste of green chilies, green tomato and red tomato. Make another paste of sesame seeds separately.

3)     Keep karai on gas oven .Switch on the gas .Add mustard oil ,when oil become hot add first turmeric powder .A beautiful

 red color will come out ,now add boiled drumsticks. Stir for 2 minutes.  Add ready paste of green chili, red tomato and

 green tomato, again stir .After 2 minutes add sesame seeds paste and salt .Now fry all ingredients properly so that

 sesame paste will keep a smooth layers on drumsticks. A t that time you may sprinkle little water which will evaporate in

 seconds but keep a smooth result on the recipe. If your taste buds want some sweet taste then you may add 1 ½ teaspoon of sugar in it.
