Vendakai fry / Okra fry / Bindhi fry / Ladies finger fry is a simple stir fry prepared with lady’s finger, Onions and basic Indian spices
If you are lucky to find this versatile vegetable fresh, make sure to select the smallest and firmest pods. If okra pod gets too long, it often becomes woody and too hard to eat.
Many people don’t like okra because of its slimy nature. But it can be reduced if okra  is cooked in minimum moisture.
Okra has many nutritional benefits, its high in Vitamin C, low in calories, high in vitamin K and folate. It is excellent sautéed or fried.
This Vendakai fry/Okra fry recipe is simple and quick to make as it’s a one pot recipe. We prefer it with Sambhar rice or Milagu rasam.
