Ladies finger fry is always my favorite fry from my childhood till now. Now my children also loves it. I prepare the same method how my mom cooked. It just tastes awesome and sometimes, I used to eat only this fry without any rice. I like this vendakkai varuval when it becomes slightly black in colour rather than greenish colour.

Crispy ladies finger fry
Vendakkai Varuval / Ladies Finger Fry
Ingredients
- Ladies finger – ½ kg
- Red chilli powder – 1 tsp
- Coriander powder – ¾ tsp
- Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
- Sal as per taste
- Oil for frying around 1.5 tbsp
- Mustard seeds – a pinch
- Black gram – ½ tsp
Method
1. Wash and Cut the ladies finger into small same sized pieces.
2. In the kadai, add 2 tsp oil, mustard seeds black gram. When the seeds start spluttering, add the ladies finger and start frying. Fry till the green color starts to become dark green colour ( may take 10 mts atleast). Now add the Powders and the salt and again start frying.
3. It might take another 5 to 7 min, to get our consistency as shown below. When the oil starts coming out of the veggie, switch off the stove and serve.
Notes:
1. Always wash the ladies finger first, before cutting it.
2. Let the ladies finger gets cooked nicely, before adding the chilli, coriander, turmeric and salt. Otherwise it becomes sticky sticky and we will not get the desired texture.
3. Always prepare this in medium flame, as the veggie tend to become over fried.
