Ventakkai or Okra Fry / Lady Finger fry

Another favorite vegetable in my list is lady finger, which I can have it any form. Unfortunately I do not know many dishes with lady finger except fries and sambar. But still I am not getting bored with okra , how much ever I intake. This is original SouthIndian style of preparing okra which anyone can prepare in just 10-15mins. This would be my contribution to "FIC GREEN: hosted by sunshinemom .


Ingredients: 
  • Okra or lady finger - 1\2kg 
  • Onion - 3 
  • Red chili powder - 1
  • Tsbp Coriander powder - 1-1\2Tbsp 
  • Curry leaves - 1strip 
  • Mustard seeds - 1tsp urad dal -1 tsp 

Procedure:
  • Heat oil in a fry pan and fry the okra for untill almost all the stickness disappears. Keep it aside.
  • Heat oil in the pan and add the mustard, urad dal and curry leaves.
  • Add the Onion and saute it for 3min until it becomes transparent.
  • Add the red chili and coriander powder. Fry for 2min.
  • Add the okra and cook it for another 5min.
  • Server it with white rice or roti.

Hallo Priya,
thank you for the recipe, it was great, just the urad dal was a bit strange there...maybe not crunchy enough? For how long should I fry it before I add onions?
THanks and cheers,
Inka
