Garnish and Serve
For a richer, creamier texture, add 2 tablespoons of cashew paste or 2 tablespoons of fresh cream along with the garam masala at the end.
For a coastal flavor, replace cumin seeds with mustard seeds and add a sprig of curry leaves during tempering. Finish the curry with 1/2 cup of coconut milk instead of water for a distinct taste.
To make it more wholesome, add 1/2 cup of boiled chana dal (split chickpeas) or toor dal (pigeon peas) along with the water and let it simmer with the vegetables.
You can omit the potatoes and increase the quantity of drumsticks, or add other vegetables like carrots or peas.
