Method:
 Add tbsp ginger-garlic paste, 1 spoon coriander powder, 1/4tbsp salt, a pinch of turmeric, 1/2tbsp garam masala to mutton pieces and pressure cook for 5 vigils. No need to add water as mutton gives away water. Set it aside to cool

Add a cup of water to Drumstick pieces and Microwave drumstick pieces for 5 min or till they are semi soft

 In another pan, add oil, bay leaves, 1 small cinnamon stick, 2 cloves and 3 black pepper

Add onion, slit greenchillies, curry leaves and fry for 2min

Add salt, turmeric, ginger garlic paste and fry till the raw smell vanishes

Add chopped tomatoes and mix well and cook till tomatoes become soft

Add boiled drumsticks and cook for 5min

To this, add cooked mutton, add remaining garam masala powder, chilli powder and stir well and add 1/4cup of water and cook for another 10min on low flame.  

 In a coffee grinder, add 1tbsp of poppy seeds and grind to a smooth powder.

 Add this powder to the curry and mix well and cook for 2min

Before you turn off the heat, add chopped coriander leaves to the curry.  

 

This goes really well with Plain rice, Bagara rice, Roti and naan. This curry can be made without drumsticks but adding drumsticks gives a very unique and tasty flavour to the curry.
