Ingredients
- 500 grams Bhindi (Lady Finger/Okra) - cut into rounds
- 1 teaspoon Sambar Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- Salt - according to taste
- Red Chilli powder - according to taste
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 sprig Curry leaves - roughly torn
Instructions
1
To begin making the Vendakkai Poriyal formula, we will be using a Wok or Kadai style pot to prepare the okra.burning up a tablespoon of cooking oil in the wok; mix in the mustard seeds and allow it to crackle.
2
Once the mustard seed crackle, mix in the curry leaves and the cut Vendakkai (Okra).
3
dust some table salt and wrap the pot.
4
Keep the burning up on medium and prepare the Vendakkai (Okra), until you see its getting damp and softened (partially cooked).
5
This will take about 4 to 5 moments.As soon as you notice moisture on the Vendakkai (Okra) and it is partially cooked, place a large ladle in the wok and wrap the wok again.
6
With the ladle in place and the lid slightly ajar, we are allowing the steam to escape from the wok at the same time allow the Vendakkai (Okra) to get cooked through.The reason we are keeping the lid slightly ajar, is so that we are letting some moisture escape and prevent the Vendakkai (Okra) to get mushy and gooey.Once you notice the Vendakkai (Okra) is cooked through and is soft, mix in the sambar ground mix, asafoetida and give it a agitate.
7
agitate-shallow fry for another 3 to 4 moments keeping the wok open so the spices get well blended into the Vendakkai (Okra) Poriyal.Once done, check the table salt and scented element levels and adjust to suit your palate.present the Vendakkai (Okra) Poriyal along with steamed rice for lunch.
