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.

Enjoy with roti, dal rice or pulao !!
