Once it comes to slightly mashable consistency, drain excess water and keep aside.Wash the drumstick leaves as well and keep aside. In a heavy bottomed pan, warm a tablespoon of oil. Once oil is heated, add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Once the seeds start crackling, add dry red chillies and curry leaves. Add in chopped onion and saute well until translucent.
