DRUMSTICK TOMATO CURRY

DRUMSTICK and TOMATO.. Both are my favorite vegetables. Drumsticks are very rich in dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals and tomatoes are very rich in antioxidants. Combination of these both vegetables gives a super tasty flavor to the dish and the aroma makes you mouth watering. Very simple to prepare with a few ingredients.
