Notes

  1. Always wash okra well then wipe it well with a kitchen towel. before chopping make sure no moisture in vendakkai
  2. If you are using small okra, just trim the cap and use whole okra. I used big vendakkai so I chopped them into 2 inch size pieces
  3. For the perfect curry texture, I recommend a wide pan so that okra doesn't overlap and cooks evenly
  4. Slow cooking is key for the perfect tasty brinjal fry. I prefer keeping the flame on low flame
  5. It tastes best with a variety rice,  kuzhambu, rasam, etc. It also tastes best with the paratha variety
  6. you can add onion, garlic, ginger, etc. According to your taste
  7. I have used peanut oil. You can use sesame oil/ coconut oil or any oil of your choice.

tips for perfect stuffed okra

  1. always cover and cook on low flame
  2. Make sure vendakkai doesn't have moisture
  3. flip in between and fry till the masala turns brown
