Ladies finger(Okra) dry coconut curry || bendakaya kobbari Koora || vendakkai thengai curry

Ladies finger(Okra) dry coconut curry || bendakaya kobbari Koora || vendakkai thengai curry

Ladies finger is one of my favourite vegetable. This dry coconut curry goes well with sambar rice,rasam rice,plain rice even we can have it chapathi's too. Sometimes we face problem while cooking okra because of its slime quality. Few simple tips: wash the okra well, then pat it with dry cloth before cutting. After cleaning I will keep it under fan for few minutes. My MIL keep it under shade for few minutes after cleaning. While buying okra,check the tail part by breaking ,if it breaks it's good one. Select the tender okras.
