Okra – Cabbage Fry
Posted by Annita on June 27, 2006
Okra otherwise known as Lady’s Finger in Indian Cuisine ,is one vegetable which is often neglected by many people.When cut, okra releases some sticky substance with has heavy thickening properties.May be it is this clinginess,that matters most.Indira of Mahanandi , has given a beautiful description and some tips to handle the clinginess of Okra.I too hated it before.But donno somehow i developed a liking towards this vegetable and now i can have almost anything with Okra.When buying fresh okra,you have to look for young and tender ones without any bruises.Okra is a rich source of many nutrients, including fiber, vitamin B6 and folic acid.This Okra Cabbage Fry is my Amma’s favorite and it goes very well with roti and rice. Here’s the recipe.. |

Ingredients:– | ||
Okra cut into 1/2 inch size pieces – 1 cup |
||
Method:- | ||
Heat oil in a pan and saute onion,curry leaves,green chillies and garlic for few minutes.Add turmeric powder and salt into it and mix well.Now stir in cabbage and saute it till it starts to turn soft.Add okra pieces and mix thoroughly.Fry till it is done ,stirring occasionally.Serve hot .

This is an interesting combination! Never tried before.
Neat idea of bringing the malayalee food blogs together on the sidebar. How about the cake girl Archana? She seems to be a malayalee even though she doesn’t cook anything kerala style! So let her stay out of the group until she cooks some malayalee food and blog about it? LOL Just kidding Archana dear.;)
Thanks again..I missed Archana too..How can we keep her away from malayalee group,RP?..Atleast its good that we have a talented baker with us,huh?

RP said

Thanks RP,I’ll be adding Indiandoc also to the list..Donno how i missed her..:)

Annita, Your vendakka cabbage fry looks so good, I wanted to try that combination out and I did try y/day for dinner but I screwed it up….I used very little oil and didn’t add water either. so It started sticking to the bottom even before adding okra and then I added little more oil and water and the rest you could imagine….Long story short, it didn’t turn out well for me. I’ll have to try it out again.
Ooh..thats sad,Rg..It needs pretty much oil,i think..and you have to stir continuosly.And why did u add water?..Water will spoil this curry,as this is something like mezhukkupuratti..also okra will be more sticky if water is used..it has to be fried in oil itself…Don’t worry!!.Next time u’ll surely get it..U might have used less oil for health purpose,rt?..:)

I tried this today. It was ok. But the combination was a good one. I had to add some cumin powder to make it more to my liking.
Thanks Riniko..

Hi Annita,
This unusual combo attracted me, tried it out, tasted good. Its a bit different taste than what we cook in konkani food. Didnt look like your picture, but taste is all that matters. Thanks for recipe.

A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment. I do believe that you should write more on this subject, it might not be a taboo matter but usually people do not talk about such issues. To the next! Kind regards!!
