I never liked okra unless its thinly sliced and made into poriyal without the slimey stuffs but this aviyal is very tempting…will it be slimey too?
thank you Arthy…I think, since I cooked it in a salted water to begin with , I did't get the sliminess…
Delicious fry
Looks so good, loved your version 🙂
that is tasty.
Healthy and comfort okra.
wow – thats different, i never knew one such method. how about just filling the ground paste inside the finger's and simply toasting. have you ever tried that without tamarind?
thank you Divya….nice idea…have not tried that way so far…but will try it soon…
