How to make Lamb Curry with Drumsticks

This article helps you to prepare mouth watering south Indian style lamb curry with drumsticks(Indian vegetable). The use of drumsticks in this lamb curry enhances the smell and flavour of the curry. The moderate use of drumsticks immerses its taste in to the curry with out overriding the taste of lamb. To cook this curry, I have used a pressure cooker which helps cook the lamb faster and tender. This recipe serves 4 persons.
