Cook to satisfy your food cravings.
I have known this deep-fried cassava as manyokka all throughout my life. That’s the name I learned since little and love having it as a snack, side, or a meal of its own. My most favourite way to have this root is to deep-fry the roots even though there are so many other possible ways to prepare them.
Okra-Fry has become one of my favourites.
My afternoon meal yesterday was none other than rice & curry. My rice and curry usually contain parippu and of course poultry with gravy. Besides those two sides, I always end up making two or more side dishes to add to the list. Depending on the day of course. My usual weekend meal always turns out big only because I always end up having people over on the weekends. Yesterday turned out to be just us four on a gloomy Sunday and ended my making these simple sides for our afternoon meal. A fresh cucumber salad and one of the super-vegetable…that is Okra. Also known as Ladies finger, Bandakka (in Sinhalese), Vendakkai (in Tamil).
