Bendakaya Bangala Dumpa Vepudu or Bhindi Alu Fry. In a kadai/wok, heat the oil. I find this version very useful when I do not have enough Bendakaya to make koora for all of us or have unexpected guests whom I have to accommodate
I always have a fear of doing any stuffed vegetables but after trying stuffed brinjal / Eggplant the next item on my list is stuffed okra / ladies finger
Okra/ Lady’s Finger/ Vendakka Mappas). Wash and clean the Vendakka/ Okra/ Ladies Finger. The stir fried Okra in rich spicy coconut gravy is extremely delicious and flavorsome
In South India (Kerala), it is named as Vendakka moru curry and In North India (Punjab) it is named as Bhindi kadhi recipe / Okra curd curry which is their staple dish - a yogurt based tangy spicy curry
Then add the okra and fry till the sticky nature goes. Okra/Ladies finger-around 20 chopped to 1 inch piece. Serve hot with rice/chapathi 1 chopped Tomato-1 chopped Sambar powder-1 tbsp or take coriander and chilli powder in equal proportion
Okra / Ladies Finger - 15-20 ( chopped in fine thin rounds). Beaten yogurt - 3/4 Cup to 1 cup (If your yogurt is thick u can add water to it)Mustard seeds - 1/4 teaspoonUrad dhal - 1 teaspoon. Cumin powder - 1/2 teaspoon. Sambar powder - 1/2 teaspoon (adjust to your taste). 1 tablespoon Cumin powder - 1/2 teaspoon Grated coconut - 2 tablespoon Sambar powder - 1/2 teaspoon (adjust to your taste)
Okra, Ladies' Finger, Bhindi, Vendakkai, Bendakaya, bamia, and many other names it's known by it's popular vegetable in most of the Indian house hold and we can make various dishes from okra or bhindi as you can see from below list
Today's recipe Okra/Bhindi/Bendakaya fry is cooked along with onions and some spices and is very simple, quick and easy recipe and goes well with both Rice or Roti
