Munagakaya Mamsam - Mutton Drumstick Curry
Meat lovers will relish this mutton curry which is cooked in combination with drumsticks. The meat becomes succulent and flavorful from the slow simmering to absorb the spices and the drumsticks give the taste buds a good tingle. Very easy preparation and makes a good curry with hot rice or rotis.

Hi,
Recipe looks yummy. There r no post from u since so many days. Is everything fine with u. Iam bit worried.
I plan to visit G U N T U R this weekend; as a foodie can you please guide me on sme culinary stops in this spice town? Must eateries, must visit spice markets???
I never cooked my mamsam with drumsticks. The curry looks very unique to try.
Why dear Sailu do you torture me so…? not so much with the mutton but the drumsticks. I have not had that in a decade. Last year when I went to Guyana, I went in search of some but no luck. Now you torture me with this curry. And mutton, love mutton.
Hey! one of my fave all-time curries. Thanks for sharing, Sailu.
My grandmother had a huge tree in our house (”sojni ki phalli” in Hyderabadi lingo) and I remember eating meat and drumstick curry often in her house. Then, the tree was cut down to extend the house and there was an end of that :(.
I always have this when I go back to Hyderabad. Occasionally we get drumsticks at our desi stores here, and this is the way I prepare it. Um, for that matter, I don’t know any other way to cook drumsticks…other than with lamb…
This looks simply amazing. It reminds me of a dish I make for my Persian husband called Khoresht-e-Karafs which can also be made with lamb. Every time I stop by here you have something wonderful cooking. Thanks.
