South Indian Style: Potato, Drumsticks and Brinjal Wok Roasted Recipe

Wok roasted vegetables are part of a side dish prepared everyday for rice or roti. These type of side dishes are also prepared during festivals and large family gathering. Best part about such recipes we can combine the leftovers, add cooked dhal and tomatoes and prepare a large batch of sambar. These recipes are traditional, from family to family it might vary. This dish in particular is prepared for Mahalaya-amavasaya or Ganesh Chaturthi at my house every year.
