Ladies Finger Curry | Vendakkai Curry | Okra Curry - South Indian Style

Vendakkai curry - an easy south Indian style ladies finger curry without coconut. It pairs well with rice and chappathi. I added sambar podi/ powder to this recipe. That gives a very nice taste to this curry.

You can make this curry even without sambar powder. But trust me guys, when you add sambar podi, the curry tastes awesome. I love to have this curry with curd rice. Ladies finger and curd rice is the best combination.

Ingredients
  • 250 gms of Ladies Finger / vendakkai / Okra
  • 1 Onion, chopped
  • 2 Tomatoes, medium-sized chopped
  • 2 Dry Red Chillies
  • 1 tsp Mustard seeds
  • 1/2 tsp Red Chilly powder
  • 1 tsp Sambar powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp of Oil

Method
  • Wash and pat dry the lady's finger before chopping to avoid the slime. I usually wash it and strain the water completely and place them in a kitchen towel to dry.
  • Now chop the ladies finger into small pieces.
  • Heat oil in a pan, when hot add mustard seeds and allow it to splutter.
  • Next, add the ladies finger and fry for one minute.
  • Cover the pan with the lid and cook in a medium flame for 2 minutes. in between stir it 2 or 3 times.
  • Remove the lid/cover and add the onion, tomatoes, chilly powder, sambar powder, and salt and mix well.
  • Cook the curry in low medium flame and keep stirring in between to avoid burning.
  • Sprinkle water if needed. Top/pour oil if the curry sticks to the pan.
  • Once done transfer to a bowl and serve with rice or chappathi.
