Vendakkai Poriyal Recipe | Ladies Finger Poriyal Recipe

Ladiesfinger recipe is our all time favorite. Okra has got lot of health benefits and there are many different okra recipes. This simple ladiesfinger stirfry is easy to make and can be served along with sambar rice adn curd rice. I would prefer not to fry the okra for a longtime since it will loose its nutritional value. So its always better not to overcook vendakkai.
