Kodi Guddu Munagakaaya Kura ~ Egg - Drumstick Curry
Today’s curry is possibly one of my favorite combination of eggs and drumsticks, only after Egg pulusu though.:) I have an overabundance of drumsticks, fresh from the backyard garden and have been using them pretty often in my cooking lately.
There are numerous ways to cook eggs and while preparing a gravy or curry, vegetables like drumsticks or ridgegourd are added for variation and flavor. This mildly spiced curry is a simple straightforward recipe with hardly any spices going into it. Boiled eggs and drumsticks are cooked in sauteed onions, garlic and tomatoes and spiced with red chilli pwd and a good amount of fresh curry leaves are added for an enhanced aromatic flavor. Makes a satisfying curry with white rice or hot rotis.

Well…I bought a frozen pack of Drumsticks for $2.50 and there are about 15, 3″ pieces in there. Lucky you,enjoy:))
Thats a different combination….never seen this before. I love drumsticks and I don’t get them here….only the frozen ones and they are horrible…so I just use them in Sambhar. Enjoy your fresh ones!
Love it, roasting the boiled eggs adds lot of taste !
thanks for sharing.
Hi, How are you friend? This Egg drumstick recipe looks yummy, Sailu. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe.
I’m doing good, Jyothi and hope the same with you.:)
Hi Sailu, My mouth is watering just looking at the pics. Sounds like a delicious combo - drumsticks and eggs, never tried it before. As you said in the post, can I use beerakaya in the same way, would love to try that combo. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Yes, Pavani, use beerakaaya. Chop them fine and cook them along with the onions till soft and then add the boiled eggs. For variation you can add a few tbsps of milk towards the end of the cooking process and stir it continuously for 2-3 mts before turning off the heat. Tastes great.
miss drumsticks like hell
does this curry have to be little dry?
luv the shot
Not necessarily, Raji. You can make it like a gravy too.
That sounds scrumptious. I don’t get fresh drumsticks here, so I would probably substitute them with some other veggie. Crisp photos as usual.
First mangoes now drumsticks from garden… OMG You are lucky.. I am drooling looking at the pictures
O O this sounds different..I have pack of frozen drumsticks..I this i am going to try this out…
Drumsticks, I have not had it in years and of late I see so many of my foodie friends like yourself, making a dish with drumsticks. I wish I could have some.
Egg curry - an all-time favourite. Thanks for making my day Sailu. Your food as always, is inspiring and tasty.
Your most welcome to drop by anytime, Cynthia, its my pleasure.:)
Hi Sailaja,
Thank you for this wonderful recipe - I made it for dinner last night and it was super delicious
My family enjoyed it immensely 
Hi Sailuji,
I usually make this curry on winter days. I used to make in summer season also but my DH says both ingrediants in this curry as egg and drumstick makes our body heat go up. So I stopped this curry. But it has its unique taste, I love it. My mother makes this. In my childhood, in our backyard we had a drumstick tree so my mother used to make curry combination with all the vegetables like dosakya, birakaya, chikudukaya…Those combo are all good and tasty. I miss that here.
Bye
Laxmi
hello sailu,
your site is great. the recipes are all heartwarming
Would you know the recipe for the vankaya bajji which they sell on carts in Vizag? I think its a whole vankaya, stuffed and dipped in besan and fried. please publish this recipe if you know.
Hi Sailu,
Where are you located now? drumsticks in your backyard probe this question.. I mean I am wondering because the last few times I goggle for some recipes, I hit your web site and I was under the impression that you live in the united states. I do not know how exactly I got that impression but I do like your web site, recipes and your presentation. Also your terminology matches mine. So I enjoy using your recipes.
