Ladys’ finger Stir-Fry | Vendakaai Poriyal, is one of the traditionl poriyal variety we used to do often. Ladys’ finger is one of the highly nutritious vegetables.  Some kids and elders hate to eat ladys’ finger because of its sticky nature. But when cooked properly, we can get rid off the sticky nature and we would get really fluffy and non-sticky Ladys’ finger Stir-Fry | Vendakaai Poriyal and the kids would love to devour them!

TIP : To get rid of the sticky nature while cooking the Lady’s Finger, add a teaspoon of curd or tamarind water. This will completely remove the stickiness and enable easy cooking of the vegetable.

Vendakkai Poriyal would be a great side dish for many main courses. We can serve them with any variety rices or with our traditional kuzhambu or sambar varieties. Even for toddlers, we can mix this poriyal with paruppu sadam with ghee.
Vendakkai are  rich sources of dietary fiber, minerals, and vitamins; often recommended by nutritionists in cholesterol controlling and weight reduction programs. As much as possible you may want to include this in your regular diet.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp Salt (adjust to your taste)

For Tempering

  • 1 tbsp Cooking Oil

  • Add chopped ladysfinger to the pan and add turmeric powder, salt and chilli powder and mix well.
  • I have used non-stick pan, so I have used only oil for tempering and I have kept the flame to medium and allow the ladysfinger to cook slowly and stir-fry them occasionally without making them mushy. Do not cover the pan while cooking. ! If you are using a traditional iron pan, then it is better to use a tablespoon of curd or tamarind water to get rid off its sticky nature while it starts cooking. Usage of curd or tamarind water is not necessary while we use non-stick pan.

Avoiding non-stick pans is good for our health.A heavy cast iron pan is ideal.
