To make drumstick and potato sabzi recipe | sahjan ki sabji | singhi aloo sabzi | drumstick with potatoes, we need drumsticks. Look for smooth, greenish skin on the pods. While most drumsticks have slight bumps indicating where the seeds are, avoid those which have pronounced bumps and attenuated spaces in between. These have reached an age and a stage where the flavour will be strong and rather bitter, and the seeds, instead of being pleasantly crunchy and tender, will be hard and dry.
