Okra / Lady's Finger Coconut Milk Curry

Okra is rich in nutrition, but that's not the only reason I resort to okra dishes these days. It is one of the vegetables that is available fresh in the Indian grocery stores throughout the year. The curry was not at all slimy. The moment I added the tamarind juice, the sliminess disappeared. The curry tasted delicious too.

Vendakka Thoran (Okra / Lady's Finger Stir-Fry with Coconut)

My mom never used to make vendakka thoran at home and neither do I. I found this recipe on Bharathy's blog Spicy Chilly. I fried it a little bit more to avoid the sliminess as we bite into the okra pieces. Loved it!

MIL's Vendakka Thoran

This is my MIL's version of okra thoran. She puts coriander powder, red chilli powder, turmeric and garam masala while okra is cooking. Towards the end, grated coconut is added like in usual thorans.
