I know some people stay away from okra because of its slimy texture, but I\u2019ve always enjoyed cooking with it. Over the years, I\u2019ve shared several <strong>okra recipes<\/strong>, which you can find linked below. Okra (or bhindi) is a staple in Indian kitchens\u2014it\u2019s easy to grow, quick to cook, and versatile enough for sambar, curry, or even raita. In fact, I\u2019ve been growing it in my backyard this year and got a pretty good sustainable harvest. I often share my gardening updates on <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/mi-eq5iCkig\">YouTube<\/a>, so feel free to follow me there.<\/p>\n<style><![CDATA[<![CDATA[#feast-advanced-jump-to {\n\tz-index: 999;\n\tborder: none;\n\topacity: 0.97;\n\tbackground: #FCFCFC;\n\tborder-left: 4px solid #CCC;\n\tmargin-bottom: 57px;\n}\n#feast-advanced-jump-to ul {\n\tmargin-left: 0;\n\tmargin-bottom: 0;\n\tpadding-left: 0;\n\tpadding: 0 30px 16px;\n}\n#feast-advanced-jump-to summary {\n\tmin-height: 48px;\n\tline-height: 48px;\n\tpadding: 8px 30px;\n}\n#feast-advanced-jump-to li {\n\tlist-style-type: none;\n\tmargin-bottom:8px;\n}\n#feast-advanced-jump-to li a {\n\ttext-decoration: none;\n}\n]]]]><![CDATA[>]]><\/style>\n<details id=\"feast-advanced-jump-to\" open=\"\">\n<summary>Jump to:<\/summary>\n<\/details>\n<h2 id=\"my-take-on-vendakkai-kootu\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">My take on vendakkai kootu<\/h2>\n<p>In traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/category\/kootu-varieties\/\">Tamil Nadu-style kootu,<\/a> we usually cook moong dal (or a mix of moong and chana dal) with vegetables and a freshly ground coconut masala, finished with a classic tempering. Typically, there\u2019s no souring agent involved. My version, however, takes inspiration from Kerala\u2019s <em>moru curry<\/em> and Tamil-style kootu to create a fusion \u2014 <strong>vendakkai mor kootu<\/strong> (okra buttermilk curry).<\/p>\n<p>Here, \u201cmor\u201d means buttermilk, so I use yogurt thinned down with water. Instead of dal, I add chickpeas for protein and texture. Shallots and coconut oil enhance the flavor, and yogurt beautifully balances the spices, giving this <strong>okra curry<\/strong> a mild tang and creamy texture.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ingredients-overview\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients overview<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For the coconut masala, you\u2019ll need coconut (fresh, frozen, or unsweetened dried), dried red chilies, and cumin seeds.<\/li>\n<li>The yogurt mix uses yogurt and besan (chickpea flour), which not only thickens the curry but also prevents the yogurt from curdling.<\/li>\n<li>For tempering, we use coconut oil, mustard seeds, urad dal, chana dal, asafoetida, curry leaves, and shallots.<\/li>\n<li>And, of course, our star ingredient \u2014 <strong>okra<\/strong>. Choose tender, fresh okra for the best texture.<\/li>\n<li>I\u2019ve also used black chickpeas, which add an earthy depth that pairs perfectly with okra. <\/li>\n<li>Finally, you\u2019ll need turmeric, salt, water, and cilantro.

Mix 1 teaspoon of tamarind paste with \u00be cup of water and use it in place of yogurt. Alternatively, soak a gooseberry-sized tamarind in 1 cup of hot water for 30\u201340 minutes, extract the juice, and add it to the curry.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1762051388471\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Will the okra turn slimy in the kootu?<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. The trick is to saut\u00e9 the okra first for a few minutes before adding any liquid. If you\u2019re still concerned, you can roast okra separately in a tablespoon of oil until soft and dry, then add it later with the onions before mixing in the ground masala.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1762051400855\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why we add chickpea flour or besan with yogurt?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Besan binds with the proteins in yogurt, forming a protective layer that prevents them from clumping when heated. It also thickens the curry naturally, reducing the watery separation that sometimes causes curdling.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><picture><source data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu.webp 1200w,https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu-200x300.webp 200w,https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu-683x1024.webp 683w,https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu-768x1152.webp 768w,https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu-1024x1536.webp 1024w,https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu-600x900.webp 600w,https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu-150x225.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" height=\"1800\" width=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu-150x225.jpg 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" class=\"wp-image-41625 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"overhead shot of vendakkai kootu with some okra and red chilies on the side\" decoding=\"async\" data-pin-description=\"Creamy, flavorful, and mildly spiced, this vendakkai kootu makes a perfect okra curry to pair with hot rice.\" data-pin-title=\"South Indian Style Okra Curry\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu.jpg\" height=\"1800\" width=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.vidhyashomecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VendakkaiKootu-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" class=\"wp-image-41625 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"overhead shot of vendakkai kootu with some okra and red chilies on the side\" decoding=\"async\" data-pin-description=\"Creamy, flavorful, and mildly spiced, this vendakkai kootu makes a perfect okra curry to pair with hot rice.\" data-pin-title=\"South Indian Style Okra Curry\"\/> <\/picture><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-make-vendakkai-kootu\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make vendakkai kootu<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Soak the dried chickpeas overnight, then pressure-cook with \u00be cup water for 3 whistles.
