Drumsticks eggs curry with Rasam

Drumsticks are such a wierd vegetable. I wonder how man would have thought it is edible. I bet many people don't know what to do with it except make music :D
         Back in the old days when I was a little kid we used to have this mulaga kaada or monge phalli or drumsticks tree. I used to love them. but the only problem is, in the season when the tree used to have loads of these sticks it also used to have lots of caterpillars. YAK!!!
         There are just so many wonderful dishes you can make with them. Here is one of my favourite. Drumsticks and eggs curry

Ingredients:
  1. 4 hard boiled eggs peeled
  2. 3 medium sized drumsticks peeled and cut into 2-3 inch pieces
  3. 1 medium red onion sliced thin

In a pressure cooker at the oil and fry the onions till tender. Add green chillies and ginger-garlic paste and fry for 2-3 minutes. Add the drumsticks and all the other ingredients except eggs.
