Malabar Chemeen Kari

In this South Indian curry, which is traditionally cooked in a clay pot, drumsticks provide the main flavor. They are long, slender vegetable pods that grow on the moringa tree. Drumsticks are very popular in the southern parts of India and are commonly used to make stews, dals, and curries. You can find them canned and frozen in most Indian grocery stores. If you can’t find them, you can use green beans, but please note that the taste will be different.
