    Ladys finger poriyal is a yummy south Indian style stir fry prepared with tender bhindi. It goes well with rice and curry.

    Ladys finger poriyal

    Lady’s Finger/Bhindi/Okra stir fry is a common lunch side dish in India. It can be prepared very easily. The only challenge we face while preparing this is the stickiness from the bhindi. The important thing to note while preparing this bhindi is to get the tender ones.

    Always clean the bhindi well and pat it dry and wipe it completely with a kitchen towel before 1 hour of cooking. this way the stickiness can be reduced to some extent. A tsp of curd could be added while cooking to reduce the stickiness

    How to prepare ladies finger poriyal

    1) In a kadai add in oil, Wait till the oil becomes hot and then add the ingredients under “To Temper” table. Once they splutter add in the finely chopped onions. Cook till the onions are soft and then add in the chopped lady’s finger/Vendakai.   

    Sauté the mixture well until the stickiness of the lady’s finger is gone. Cook in a medium flame, and once the stickiness is gone add in turmeric powder, Chilli powder, Jeera Powder and salt. Once the Lady’s finger reduces and volume and it becomes slightly dry add in freshly grated coconut give a quick stir. switch off the flame.

    Tips

    • Wash the lady’s finger well and dry them using a paper towel before chopping them, this helps to minimize the stickiness.
    • Instead of adding all the spice powders you can add just sambar powder and salt.
    • Always check the bhindi by breaking the tail part, if it breaks easily the bhindi is tender. Use Tender bhindis to cook always.
