- Slice the okra into very thin rounds.
- Heat 3 tbsp oil and add the okra.
- Fry over low heat, tossing occasionally, until the okra turns brown and crisp.
- Grind coconut, green chilies and mustard together.
- Mix together the coconut paste, curds and ladies finger.
- Heat the remaining oil and add red chilies and curry leaves. Pour it over the kichadi.
Note: To make sure the okra is fresh and tender, try bending its tip with your fingers. If it snaps cleanly, the okra is fresh. Old and fibrous okra will tend to bend and will be hard to break at the tip. |
