This is a typical malwani fish gravy recipe, here fish is substituted with drumsticks. This is made especially in month of Shravan, when non veg is not cooked in most of the houses,people satisfy their urge of eating fish by making this dish.

I have got a gift from my mom, fresh drumsticks from her garden .

So today I tried my hand on  this dish and result was awesome.
