Vendakka Moru Curry
Ingredients:
Instructions
Video
-
Heat oil for deep frying in a small wok. Add the chopped fresh okra and fry till golden in colour.
-
Make sure, the okra is golden while retaining some greenish hue. Don't let the okra turn dark.
-
Strain the fried okra from the oil and set aside.
-
Heat 3 Tbsp of the oil in an earthen pot or heavy-based small-medium sized wok.
-
Add mustard seeds and allow to splutter completely.
-
Then add fenugreek seeds, followed by dried red chilli and curry leaves.
-
As soon as the dried red chilli is bright red in colour, add the chopped shallots and garlic.
-
Saute till softened and then add the green chilli. Continue sautéing till the mixtures turn to a light golden colour.
-
Now pour in the whisked yoghurt and stir vigorously on maintained heat till well blended. (No need to turn the heat down. Simply stir briskly to keep the yoghurt from curdling).
-
Rinse out the cup in which the yoghurt was whisked with a ¼ cup of water and add this to the pot as well. Heat through but don't boil.
-
Next, pour in the coconut milk of medium thickness and stir in. Heat through, but don't boil. (When heated through, you will see bubbles forming around the edges of the pot).
-
Add salt to taste and add the fried okra.
-
Ready to serve with rice. This dish does not need to be reheated and can be served at room temperature. Leftovers, kept in the fridge may be left out to return to room temperature or even served slightly cool.
Note
- You may substitute okra with eggplant or bitter gourd. Different and tasty too.
- Fenugreek seeds must not be replaced with dried fenugreek leaves. I had one of my readers use this in place of the seeds once. Totally different, each has its own flavour and use.
