Ingredients:
Murungaikkai/Drumsticks – 15 pieces (about 3 inches long)
Onion - 1 big

Green chilies - 2 (slit)
Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
Sambar powder - 1 tsp
Mustards - 1/2 tsp
Salt - to taste

Method:
Cut the onions and tomatoes. Slit the green chilies. Wash & cut the drumsticks and keep them ready.
In a pan put oil when it becomes hot add the mustards. When the mustards pops add the onions & green chilies and saut well. When the onion is fried well, add the tomatoes and fry for 3-4 minutes. Then add the drumsticks and curry leaves and fry for few more minutes.
Then add the turmeric, sambar powder, salt and after a minute of frying this add about 1 cup of water and let it comes to boil. You can add more water if the kuzhambu looks too thick. Close it with a lid and let the kuzhambu cook for another 15-20 minutes in medium fire until the drumsticks are fully cooked.
While this is boiling, separately dry roast the thoor dal & rice in medium heat and coarse grind it.
When the veggies are fully done, add this powder to the kuzhambu and mix it well. Let it come back to boiling again and leave it for a minute or two and then switch off the stove.
