Glad to hear your Mom has caught the IG Bug and its always a great deal of happiness when they see our work and feel proud about it. Loved the recipe and I bet any south indian loves Kathrikai, I myself have a sabzi with kathrikai atleast twice a week as I cannot ever get enough of it. I loved the inclusion of drumsticks which I have never tried before.
Such a tasty curry with mix of veggies da
