This is a very easy recipe which uses okra. Okra is a popular vegetable rich in dietary fiber. It contains Vitamin A, C, K and antioxidants. It is a good source of folates. It is low in calories. Helps in controlling cholesterol.
Preparation:
- Wash and dry the okra using a clean towel.
- Slit each okra into four lengthwise. Then chop it into small pieces.
- Cut the green chilly into 2 or 3 pieces.
- Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds, whole dry red chilly and curry leaves. When the mustards start spluttering add the okra and fry it. Stir continuously, on medium - low flame.
- When the gooeyness disappears, add 2 - 3 pinches salt and the green chilly pieces. Fry until crisp on low flame, so the green color remains intact.
- Remove from flame and allow to cool.
- Beat/ whip the curd/yogurt lightly. Add salt to taste.
- Add the fried okra into the curd and mix well.
- Serve as a side dish with rice.
