Vendakkai puli pachadi recipe | okra in tamarind sauce

Vendakkai puli pachadi recipe,i am trying out for the first time. When a reader asked for this recipe, i didn’t have much idea about how to make vendakkai puli pachadi. Though i have tasted in a friend’s place very long back, i couldn’t recollect the recipe. But thank god finally when i was casually talking to a friend about this recipe she gave me the idea and finally made it. This goes well with Arisi upma, Pidi Kozhukattai and you can have this with rice too.  INGREDIENTS: [ serves 2-3]

LADIES FINGER | VENDAKKAI 8-10
TAMARIND PASTE 1 AND 1/2 TSP(If using tamarind, take a small gooseberry size)
GREEN CHILLI 3
JAGGERY 1 TSP
WATER 1 CUP
RICE FLOUR 2 TSP
SALT AS NEEDED
OIL 1 TSP
MUSTARD SEEDS 1/4 TSP
TOOR DAL 1/2 TSP
METHI SEEDS | VENDAYAM 1/4 TSP
RED CHILLI 1

Vendakkai puli pachadi 1 METHOD:

  • Wash and pat dry the ladies finger. Cut them into small roundels.
  • In a pan add oil and temper with mustard seeds, toor dal , green chilli(cut into pieces),red chilli and methi seeds.

  1. Hi Jeyashri, recipe looks great, thanks for posting. In fact one request i had was if you could continue to post a lot more Tam-Brahm recipes, especiallythe lesser known ones. I believe this is the USP of this blog and I am sure that like me, for a lot of others, your blog is fast becoming a definitive source for authentic Tam-Brahm recipes. So would request you to post more such recipes in this genre in the days to come. Great work on the blog, hoping to see this blog scale greater heights in the future.
