    Vendakkai Thoran

    This is what amma makes on most of the days, the one variation is she changes the vegetables. She makes it with carrot or beans or beetroots. But thoran gets a place on the menu most of the week. I can easily eat beetroot thoran, but the one thing i hated is this ladysfinger thoran. But as a adult i love it. The key stuff in this thoran is you should chop up the veggie pretty finely, so it gets cooked faster and turns into good texture. 

    So give this a try and let me know what you think.

    Ingredients for Vendakkai Thoran Recipe

    • Ladysfinger / Okra / Vendaikai - 15 chopped finely
    • Shallots / Sambar Onion - 5 chopped finely
    • Salt to taste

    For Coconut Masala:

    • Coconut - ½ cup
    • Red Chilli - 1 or 2
    • Garlic - 2
    • Turmeric powder / Manjal podi - 1 tsp
    • Cumin Seeds / Jeerakam - 1 tsp

    For Seasoning:

    • Oil - 2 tbsp
    • Mustard Seeds / Kaduku - 1 tsp
    • Urad dal / Ulundu paruppu - 1 tsp
    • Curry leaves - 1 spring

    How to Make Vendakkai Thoran Recipe 

    1. Grind the ingredients given in the masala list to a little coarse paste without adding any water. Set this aside till use.
    2. Heat oil in a kadai. Add the seasoning ingredients and saute for a min.
    3. Add in shallots and okra and saute it for 5 mins.
    4. Now add in some salt and give a good toss. Fry the whole thing for 8 to 10 mins so that the okra gets rid of its sliminess.
    5. Now add in the ground masala and toss well.
    6. Fry this for 5 more mins so the masala gets cooked. Thoran is done.
    7. Serve with rice.

      You cannot go wrong with a spicy coconut masala! And because it was even hotter than a few days ago, I aimed for minimum cooking time and used canned lady's fingers (I'm such a cheat). Everyone still liked it.
