Hi Vineela,
Thanks for visiting my blog - left you a comment there too. I love drumsticks, but does the outside soften up at all after pickling? I haven't tried homemade pickles yet.. might do so now. Also am going to try your pani pooris - wow do they look good!
Best wishes :)

Drumstick pachadi Yumm!! Vineela, wow you are a woman of numerous talents aren't you? I could never push myself to make pickles(probably because I always have them in abundance in my freezer from my India trips and may be because I could never beat my mother in that). I have a couple of bottles of drumstick pickle sitting in my freezer, now I know what I want for dinner..
the bottle is sooo cute!! we recently bought drumstick pickle and everybody liked it soo much that we emptied the store of the pickle...and since its all gone now, I'm gonna make pickle from your recipe..thanks!
Great recipe, Vineela! That pickle bottle is so cute..:).
I have a question,Vineela...do we have to wait a whole 4 weeks to eat the pickle? I thought the waiting process is much less..
Never even imagined that we can pickle drumsticks!WOW!

I have been searching for this recipe for a long time. This does sound delicious:) and so authentically naadan.
My question is doesn't green chillies spoil the pickle? I have heard that is so. Is it ok to do without it and substitute red chillies?
