Today.. here I am showing a delicious South Indian variety with Lady Fingers. This recipe is simple, healthy and easy to prepare. For this recipe we need the following ingredients.
Ingredients:
- Lady Fingers chopped (Bendakaya mukkalu) - 3 cups.
- Peanuts ( Verusenaga pappu ) - 3 tsp
- Bengal gram ( Senaga pappu ) - 3tsp
- Split Black gram ( Minapappu ) - 2 tsp
- Sesame seeds ( Nuvvu pappu ) - 1 tsp
- Coriander seeds ( Dhaniyalu ) - 1tsp
- Cumin seeds ( Jeelakarra ) - 1/2 tsp
- Dry Red Chillies ( Yendu Mirapakayalu ) - 4
- Curry Leaves ( Karivepaaku ) - few
- Amchur - 1/2 tsp
- Oil - 3 tsp
- Salt - as per taste
Method:
To begin with, wash the lady fingers and cut them into small pieces.
Take a pan and heat the pan with oil. Once the oil is hot, put the lady finger pieces and saute them for almost 15 mins on medium flame or until they become soft and tender. Stir the lady finger pieces for every 3 mins so that they dont get burnt.
Mean while heat another pan and put some oil in it and fry the Bengal gram, Black gram, Peanuts, Coriander seeds, Sesame seeds, Cumin seeds and Red chillies.
Let them turn light brown colour and allow them to cool. Once the lady finger pieces are soft, add salt, curry powder ( we made now ) , amchur and mix all of them and cook for about 3 minutes with a lid covered. Thats it ! This curry goes well with hot rice and ghee. It serves 3 - 4 people.
Tips:
Do not cover the pan with a lid while cooking lady fingers. After the curry powder is added, we can use a lid. We can also add few drops of butter milk to avoid mushy ness in the vegetable while cooking.
