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.

Also known as Ladies finger, Bandakka (in Sinhalese), Vendakkai (in Tamil).
