About - Vendakkai Puli Venjanam | Hot Lady's Finger Curry
Vendakkai Puli Venjanam | Hot Lady's Finger Curry is a Tamil Muslim-style side dish. Typically made as an accompaniment to lunch meals, especially for dal-based curries. It is a simple yet flavourful vegetarian recipe.
Vendakkai Puli Venjanam is my home-style vegetarian side dish. It is made up of young okra/lady's finger, tamarind, onion, tomato, green chilli, garlic, chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, salt, oil, mustard seeds, cumin seeds and a handful of curry leaves.
If you are new to the word "Venjanam". It means Side Dish. At my place, we use the word "venjanam" to call side dishes. Even in Chettinad Cuisine, side dishes are called venjanam.
