Drumstick and brinjal is always a winner combo as we can put either in sambar, Kara Kuzhambu or curry! I love this combination and hence this curry. It's a simple recipe with basic ingredients & no tedious chopping work too! This curry goes well with sambar, rasam or any Kuzhambu. But we love to have it with curd rice!

Notes :
1. You can use any variety of brinjal for this curry. I have used violet brinjals.
2. If you don't want brinjal to get mushy, cook drumsticks first and then add brinjals when drumsticks are half cooked. But I like to make this way.
