    ladies finger/okra/Bhindhi stir fry

    Ladies finger/okra is known as Vendakkai in Tamil, Bhindhi in hindi which is our family favorite. I make this Vendakkai poriyal often as an accompaniment for lunch. It tastes delicious if it is done in a right way. I have already posted little spicy version of ladies finger/okra fry and this is the mild version with coconut, even you can give this poriyal to small kids.

    Here is how to make ladies finger/vendakkai poriyal, with coconut.

    Method

    • Heat a pan with oil and add the items to temper in order. Once the mustard seeds cracks and urad dal turns golden brown, add hing and curry leaves. Add onions now and nicely fry till it becomes transparent.
    • Once the onions turns soft and translucent, add chopped vendakkai/ladies finger and mix well. Then add turmeric powder & salt. Mix them for a minute. Keep the flame low. Fry the vendakkai/ladies finger in low flame and now it will start to stick into the pan. Add a teaspoon of seasame oil to reduce the stickiness.

    Notes:

    • Chop the Vendakkai/ladies finger into medium size pieces neither too thin nor thick.
    • Check the ladies finger/Vendakkai by breaking the tail of it, if it breaks it's good to use.
