Okay...this looks especially tasty to me! When you say "drumstick", am I to presume it means one chicken drumstick (not including the thigh)? Reply :- hi tina, sambhar rice is an authentic south indian dish in which the rice is cooked with lentils and a combination of vegetables. You could use any vegetables you want. But the veggies traditionally used are eggplant, pumpkin, carrots, potatoes and drumstick. Drumstick is a vegetable we get in india. in the US you can find it in any indian stores. you can see this vegetable in this site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drumstick_%28vegetable%29. |
