Singhi Aloo

A recent addition to my (limited) Sindhi heritage ! Singhi is Sindhi for drumstick :) so this recipe is a drumstick and potato curry .This super easy curry makes a different use of drumsticks other than sambhar. Tastes great with rice or puris or even hot phulkas..great for a sumptuous hot lunch!
