LADIES FINGER CURRY/ BHINDI KA SALAN/ VENDAKKAI KUZHAMBU

Wishing all my readers and friends Ramadan Mubarak. May Allah bless us, ease our fasts and accept our prayers. Today I am going to share a simple curry recipe that you can serve with White rice for lunch. Here I have served the Ladies Finger curry with rice and omelet, but you can also serve it with any other side dish like Chicken fry, Fish fry or any other Poriyal (vegetable stir fry) of your choice.

I sometimes make this Ladies Finger curry for Suhur as well and serve with Omelet, Plain rice and Chicken 65. Do try out the recipe, I am sure you will like it.

1 tsp red chilli powder

¼ tsp turmeric powder

1 tbsp soya sauce
