Vendakai Melugu Peretti or Spicy Fried Okra
Indian State: Tamil Nadu
Recipe Source: The Taj Magzine
Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 5-6 dry red chillies
- 250 grms (7-8) small onions
- 50 ml coconut oil ( I used about
3 tblspn of rice bran oil) - Mustard seeds
- 1 spring curry leaves
- 500 grms ladyfinger or okra, chopped
- Salt to taste
- ½ teaspoon amchoor powder (optional)
Method:
- Grind the cumin and red chilli to a coarse paste add a little oil and
re run the mixer. - Add the onions and crush to make a rough paste. Add salt.
- Heat the oil; crackle the mustard and the curry leaves.
- Add the onion mixture and lady finger.
- Mix well. Check for seasonings.
- Cook covered till the lady fingers are tender.
- Here I digressed from the recipe and added ½ teaspoon of amchoor powder to
get rid of the sticky look. - Serve with rotis.

Lovely subzi there. Most at home prefer crispy fry and so I end up making it only that way. 🙂

The red chilli-cumin paste adds the punch I am sure. The curry looks very yummy.
Usha says
I love okra.. I normally do not add amchoor but it must have given a nice tangy flavor to the fry
