Okra-Fry (bandakka/vendakkai)

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).
