When I was staying in tamil nadu, we had a drumstick tree which had many drumsticks on it.Each of it used to be very long and fleshy.Sometimes, especially during the summer season there would be many long ,fresh and fleshy drumsticks on the tree and less number leaves on the branches of the trees.
People nearby used to wonder and ask for its stem to plant it in their houses.But it never grew as the way it did in our house.
I took few stems to plant it in our house in kerala, but never succeeded.I guess the soil conditions are different.Anyways I love drumsticks!!! this recipie here is one special to me.
