I usually make Bhindi curry/ vendakkai curry with sambar powder .. For a change I tried this method for our lunch . I got this vendakkai masala recipe from a book. I think most of you make this for roti. This masala goes well for roti as well as dal rice & mild pulao varieties. It tastes and smells great.
INGREDIENTS
- Ladies finger / okra – 12 nos
- Big onion – 1 no
- Tomato – 1 no
- Ginger garlic paste – 1/2 tsp
- Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
- Red chilli powder – 1/2 tsp – 1 tsp (adjust)
- Coriander powder – 3/4 tsp
- Garam masala powder – 1/2 tsp
- Salt – As required.
- Water – just to sprinkle.
To temper
- Oil – 1 tbsp
- Jeera – 1/2 tsp
Coriander leaves – to garnish
|
METHOD
- Heat oil in a kadai and add the cumin seeds. Then put the chopped onions and ginger garlic paste.
- Saute till the raw smell emanates.
- Then add the cut okra pieces and saute well for few mins.
- Now add the tomato pieces and saute till it turns mushy.
- Finally add all the dry powders.Toss well for few mins.
- Sprinkle or add little water and close the kadai with a lid.
- Keep the flame low and allow the okra to cook well.
- Toss in between to avoid charring.
- Switch off the flame and garnish with coriander leaves.
