  6. Heat the oil, add mustard seeds, and let it splutter. Then add the onions and garlic. Stir and fry them till the onions turn to little brown. Now add curry leaves, cumin seeds, and fennel seeds. Fry all these mixture for one more minute.
  7. Now take off the fried onion mixture and put them on top of the fried drumsticks.
  8. Get ready with tamarind juice, thick coconut milk, and thin coconut milk.

  10. Take off the lid, add the thick coconut milk, and cook covered under the high flame for 1 minute.
  11. Take off the lid and add the fried drumstick plus the onion mixture. Stir, mix and cook uncovered under low flame for 1 minute.

  13. This is how to make spicy and thick gravy drumstick curry Sri Lankan style. Serve and enjoy this delicious vegan dish.
Notes
1: I instantly made coconut milk from grated coconut. If it is hard to find grated coconut use coconut milk powder or bottled coconut milk.

2: Don’t add more salt because the drumstick itself have some amount of salt.

3: If you don't like spiciness, reduce the amount of curry powder.
