Munakkaya Gojju or Drumstick Masala Curry is an authentic Rayalaseema dish from Andhra. In this dish, spices and coconut paste is cooked till almost dry to give a nice coating to the Drumstick.
I learned this dish from Athamma and previous to this, I have never eaten Drumstick in anything else other than Sambhar. When I introduced to my parents, they loved it too. As expected, Athamma makes it different every time. This time around we added Ginger Garlic paste and coconut paste.
Sometimes I just add crushed garlic, sometimes with Coconut Milk. We mostly serve this with Andhra Pappum especially Vankaya Pappu. The first time I shared this, it was about during my initial months of blogging and it was part of my Lunch Box Series. Hubby Dear used to carry packed lunches and I used to share those boxes. My first post on my Lunch Box Series was about 11 years old.
I came around clicking new pictures and decided to blog about this recipe in a separate post as Munakkaya Gojju surely deserves a post of its own. Hubby dear no longer packs a lunch box and I had to borrow Peddu’s steel dadda for this picture.
Reading that post was so nostalgic and remembering those days and wonder how time has flown!
Anyway, this dish is a classic way to enjoy Drumstick, do try it. For the second day of Indian Regional Dishes in BM#90, I have a classic one from Andhra.
