- 1/4 teaspoon jeera 1

To temper:
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions
- Beat curd with a whisk and Set aside.
- Grind coconut, jeera and green chillies along with little water to a coarse paste. Set aside.
- Rinse bhindi well to remove the dirt on the outer skin if any. Wipe off with a tissue paper to remove moisture. Trim both the edges.
- Slice them thin as thin as possible. I used a knife, if you have a slicer you can use it too.
- Saute with little oil, keep cooking in low flame. Saute till it becomes slightly crisp, browned here and there, it will be non sticky. It will take at least 10-15mins in low flame, keep turning over for even roasting.
- Add coconut paste saute for 2mins until raw smell leaves. Switch off. Leave it aside to cool.
- Add required salt, add whisked curd.
- Temper the items listed under 'to temper' table and add it to the kichadi. Mix well and serve Vendakkai Kichadi for lunch meal.
Notes
- Make sure to cool down the bhindi coconut mixture before adding curd.
