First of all, Peel, rinse and chop the drumsticks into 3-4 inch pieces.
Take a Pan/Kadhai and put oil into it and keep it on medium flame. When oil is warm, add asafoetida and cumin seeds. Once they crackle, add chopped onion and saute till its pinkish brown in colour.
Then add chopped green chillies and grated ginger and saute again for few seconds. Now add all the spices except garam masala and roast for a minute.
Add chopped drumsticks and mix well. Now add 4 tablespoon of water to it. Cover the pan with lid and keep the flame to low.
Cook it for 10-12 minutes until they are tender and well cooked.
Open the lid and roast for 1 more minute. Add garam masala and switch off the flame.
Masala Drumstick is ready. Serve Hot and enjoy with rice and dal of your choice as a side dish.
Notes
You can adjust spice level as per your taste.
You can also add tomatoes to it. Chop 2 medium sized tomatoes and add to the mixture after roasting all the spices. Once tomatoes are soft and mushy then add chopped drumsticks and cook as given in recipe.
Don’t add too much water while cooking drumstick and don’t overcook them otherwise they will be too mushy.
