Drumstick

Sahjan

40 g1 pod

Measured strictly by weight (g).

Nothing truly replicates the unique grassy flavour and chew-and-spit fibrous texture of fresh drumstick pods.

• 
  Small aubergine

  Use equal weight, cut into quarters lengthways. Simmer until tender; readily absorbs sambar broth, though it turns soft rather than fibrous.

• 
  Potato

  Use 80% of the weight, cut into thick batons. Cook until just fork-tender; holds its shape well in curries and dals, though it tastes starchier.
