15 nos Lady`s finger Vendakka
1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
1/2 tsp Coriander powder
1/4 tsp Chilly powder
Salt, to taste
2 nos Onion — sliced
1 nos Tomato — sliced
Curry leaves A, a few
1/4 tsp Garam masala powder
1/4 cup Thick coconut milk

Preparation

Step 1
Clean the lady`s finger well.
Step 2
Remove both their ends.
Step 3
Slit open horizontally, leaving its upper portion unslit.
Step 4
Mix together turmeric powder, coriander powder, chilly powder and salt.
Step 5
Rub the above mixture into the opened portions of the lady`s finger.
Step 6
Warm coconut oil in a pan.
Step 7
Fry the above lady`s fingers in it and keep them aside.
Step 8
Heat up the remaining oil in the pan.
Step 9

Step 10

Tip

Do not rush the onion and shallot frying. The difference between pale onions and properly browned onions is the difference between a flat dish and a flavourful one.
