{Recipe}Goan Tisreo/Clams curry with drumsticks

Tisreo or clams curry with drumsticks recipe ,one more addition to my seafood collections. Special thanks to my friend Shilpa Naik, she took this recipe from her mummy who is expert in fish curries:). Though it would not be as tasty as Aunty prepares but tried her recipe in my Cocina with my touch ;).

I have any clams recipes in my blog like Goan Green Masala Clams Dry,Tisreyanche Sukhe/Goan Clams Dry,Goan Prawns and Clams pulao /Sungta ani Tisreyancho Pulao and now one added “Tisreo curry with drumsticks”. Earlier in this week prepared twice clams dry but this time wanted something different dish so i ended up asking my friends. The curry was yum because clams in red curry masala with drumsticks gave totally different taste. 

The curry was up to mark but only difference was the colour, as per Shilpa the colour should have been more dark red and that was missing in my clams curry as I did not use kashmiri chilies which the gives that bright red colour. But the curry taste was amazing enjoyed every shell of clams.
