Vendakkai-Urad Dal Subzi

Ingredients:
Vendaikkai Okra/Ladies Finger- 15
White Whole Urad Dal-1/4 cup( soaked for an hour)
Onion-1
Tomato-1/2
Ginger-1/2 inch(finely chopped)
Green Chili-2(slitted vertically)
Chilly Powder-1 tsp
Turmeric Powder-a pinch
Oil -1 tbsp
Potato-1(peel the skin and cut it into cubes)

Method:
Pressure Cook the soaked Urad Dal upto 4-5 whistles. mash them and keep it aside. In a Pan heat oil, add mustard if you wish and add the ginger and green chili's. saute them and add the sliced onions and fry them. Now add the tomatoes and saute them, till they get cooked. Now add the Okra and fry well, add the potato cubes, salt and Turmeric powder and chilly powder, fry them for a minute. Add the mashed urad dal and add a cup of water, mix well. close it with a lid and let them get cooked in a slow flame for about 10-15 minutes. this makes the subzi thicker and the okra and the potato gets cooked. before you switch off the flame, add the chopped coriander leaves and close it with the lid. You can also make this subzi, little watery and add more okra's, which will be very yummy.
