As I had mentioned before, TH and I are not huge fans of Okra (Vendakka/ladies finger. But I feel guilty if I leave out any vegetable completely (except for Pavakka/Karela!) so I bought it the other day just to try and make something different. This is a spontaneous recipe that happened just like that and it came out really well, so much so that TH didn't even realise it was Okra :) And its really simple too, using minimum ingredients.
What I Used:
Serves 2
Okra/Vendakka/Ladies finger - 10 nos
Besan/chickpeas flour - 3 tbsp
Chilli powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric - a pinch
Hing - 1/4 tsp
Jeera - 1/2 tsp
Salt - to taste
Oil
How I Made It:
1. Mix the besan with chilli, turmeric, hing, jeera and salt. Add enough water to make a thick batter.
2. Cut the okra into thin discs and add to the besan batter.
3. Heat about 2 tbsp oil in a non-stick pan and add this mixture. Keep stirring occasionally until it starts separating into small bits and the okra is cooked.

The final dish was soft and spicy with a sweet tinge. We loved it!
