Bendekayi Sasive Recipe with step by step Photos :

• Wash and wipe the ladies finger. Note that okra should be wiped fully dry, else they would turn sticky.Chop them into small pieces.
• Heat a  pan/kadai and make a seasoning by adding oil ,mustard seeds, urad dal, broken red chilly and curry leaves.

• After the mustard seeds splutter, add chopped ladies finger to it.

Turn heat to medium low and fry the ladies finger till brown and crispy.It will take 5-10 minutes.Do not cover the lid or increase the flame. It will make slimy . Turn off the heat and let it cool.

Grind grated coconut, mustard seeds, green chilly and salt in to super fine paste. Add water /curd while grinding to get the consistency of chutney.

Add this coconut – mustard paste to the vessel , add buttermilk/curd to it.

Add fried bhindi to it . Mix well and keep aside for 10-15 mins. Okra absorbs the yogurt and plumps up giving it a unique flavorful taste.

Points to Note While making Bendekayi Sasive :

1. You can replace green chilly with red chilly. It tastes equally good.
2. Adjust the curd / buttermilk according to the consistency and sour level u prefer .
3. Do not add mustard seeds more than 1/2 tsp, as it will make the curry taste bitter .
4. Frying bhindi till crispy is very important. It removes stickiness and gives nice taste.
5. Instead of lady’s finger you can use chopped ( onion /capsicum ) . Roast them too.rest of the procedure remains same
