Murungakkai poricha kuzhambu/ drumstick poricha kootu is one of the easiest and delicious gravy for rice which I learnt from my MIL.Whenever I feel lazy to cook, I make this drumtsick gravy alone for rice. I don’t make any poriyal or kootu.We have the drumstick itself as side dish. I just make a thogayal along with this gravy and we have a hearty meal with papad or vadam.

METHOD
- Chop the drumstick pieces into finger size.Slit it half way through..
- In a cooker base take the moong dal with required water.Add 1/4tsp of turmeric powder and a drop of oil.Take a small bowl that fits inside the cooker. In that bowl , put the chopped drumstick pieces.Add very little water (say 2 tbsp).The drumstick pieces gets cooked in the steam itself..Pressure cook for one whistle in low flame.( I use the same technique for cooking dal & vegetables for sambar. )
- Grind the coconut and rice four to a smooth paste adding required water.
- After the steam is released open the cooker , remove the drumstick bowl. Mash the dal well..
- In a kadai , take the mashed moong dal , drumstick pieces ,sambar powder , tomato pieces or tamarind extract , salt and water.Allow it to boil for sometime..
- Lastly add the ground coconut mixture.Mix well.Add little water and boil for some more time.
- Temper the mustard seeds , urad dal , jeera , small onions and curry leaves. Saute the onions till golden brown.
