Ingredients
- 12 ladies finger / vendakkai
- 1 medium sized onion
- a pinch turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoon coconut grated
- salt to taste
To Temper:
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
- ½ teaspoon urad dal
- ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
- few curry leaves
- 1 long green chili
Instructions
- Wash ladies finger well. Pat it well with a cloth to absorb moisture.Then cut the head and tail part discard them. Chop them into thin circles as shown below. Set aside.
- Heat oil, add the items under ' to temper' then add onion and fry till slightly browned. Then add okras and sauté till it shrinks in volume.
- When it starts shrinking in volume and the stickiness is reduced cook covered for few minutes until it turns soft. Then give a quick stir, add required salt and turmeric powder. Keep stirring.
- Once the stickiness is fully gone and it turns dry and slightly browned add the coconut. Give a quick stir and switch it off.
- Enjoy with rice.
Notes
- While buying ladies finger, always check by bending the tail part if it breaks easily then its tender and good to go.
- I always use nonstick pan for this stir fry as it reduces the oil to be used to avoid the stickiness in the okras.
- Do not add more water just sprinkle little say 1-2 teaspoon not more than that - this is just to ensure cooking of okras soft.
- The trick is to cook the okras without stickiness and without changing the color.
