My fav combo with simple rasam or curd rice.

Author : Premalatha Aravindhan Category : South Indian Side Dish,Poriyal Recipes

Prep and cooking Time: below 30 Mins Cuisine : South Indian serves : 2 to 3 
—————————————————————————————————————————          
Ingredients:

bindi sabzi 

1/2 kg Ladies Finger / Okra / Vendakaai
1 Onion,chopped
2 tbsp Grated Coconut
A sprig curry leaves
salt,as needed


For Seasoning:

1 tsp Oil
1/2 tsp Mustard seeds
1/2 tsp split urad dal

1/2 tsp Cumin seeds



Method:

1. Wash okra and wipe it. You can also spread them on a plate or towel and let it dry.

2. Trim the edges and cut them into ¼ inch roundels. Chop the onion finely.
3. Heat a pan with oil. Add mustard seeds and when they splutter, add urad dal and let it get roasted to golden brown.
4. Add onion and sauté till it turns translucent. Now add the okra and cook for a minute over high flame. You can see the okra beginning to stick to the pan.
5. Reduce the flame and add curry leaves and salt and mix well. Do not close the pan with a lid.
6. Cook over low flame for 4-5 minutes till the okra gets cooked well and becomes dry. Keep mixing in between.Finely add the grated coconut and fry well.Switch off the stove and transfer it in a serving bowl.     
How to choose good Bindi/okra/vendakai:

  • While getting ladies finger , always check by bending the tail part if it breaks easily then its tender and good to go.

Notes:
1. You can chop the vendakkai/okra the day before and store it in an airtight container to prevent them for sticking together while cooking the next day.
2. Never ever close the pan with a lid while cooking okra.
3. Add salt only after the vendakkai is half cooked, else the salt will bring out the water from the okra and they will stick together.
