DRUMSTICK AND POTATO SIDE DISH

This is a very  simple and a quick side dish from South India. In fact my Mother-in-law's recipe. This dish is for the people who are so fussy about eating "drumsticks". The potatoes really help you to finish the drumsticks. Here in Kenya drumsticks are really tender and people prefer it that way. Some Kenyans chew and swallow the tender drumsticks for the good fibre intake.
