Bendakaya Koora - Andra Recipe (Ladies finger fry )


It is almost similar to our vendakaya fry or okra fry.I find only difference in they are using uzhunnu parippu or urad dal for seasoning.And in this recipe no coconut is used.

Ingredients

1.Bendakaya/vendakaya/okra/Ladies finger - 500 gm

2.Green chillies - 5
3.Black gram /Uzhunnu parippu/Urad dal - 1 tsp
4.Mustard seeds - 1 tsp

5.Salt

6.Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp

7.Cumin seeds/Jeerakam - 1/2 tsp

8.Curry leaves

9.Oil - 2 table spoon


Preparation

1.Wash and clean the ladies finger well and dry it out .Cut the vendakaya in to small sizes .All pieces should be even.


2.Heat the oil in a pan and add the urad dal to it saute it for 1 mt then add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds to it .When the popping sounds come out add the slitted green chillies ,and cueer leaves to it.

3.Then to this add the bendakaya pieces saute it well.Add 1/4 tsp turmeric powder to it also add the salt .Cook it covered with a lid and make the flame to be in simmer.And stir it in between every one minute.This will reduce the stickiness of vendakkaya.


4.Continue this process until the vendakaya is cooked well.
