Vendakkai puli kuzhambu recipe – Ladies finger tamarind gravy with coconut

08/07/2017 By Jinoo Jayakrishnan Leave a Comment

Vendakkai puli kuzhambu recipeVendakkai puli kuzhambu recipe with step by step photos and video recipe. Tamilandu style Vendakkai puli kulambu is an authentic curry recipe of tamilnadu with ladies finger and tamarind.

This okra curry/ Ladies finger curry is made with coconut. some of the recipes do not use coconut.

Some of my collection of tangy curries like Milagu varutha puli is very easy and simple to make. Puli Inji/Inji curry recipe is authentic Kerala recipe with tamarind. Vathakulambu is my all time favourite tangy curry.

I was not a big fan of tamarind gravy until I was pregnant. It was during that period of time, i fell in love with all that’s tangy. My moms puli kuzhambu and mils kuzhambu is entirely different. I had posted my Mils recipe way long back and i wanted to update it with the decent pics :). This kuzhambu recipe is adapted from my MIL.

Moving on to the step wise directions,

  • Let’s first make the masala for the curry. heat a pan, add oilVendakkai puli kuzhambu recipe
  • Firstly, Drop in coriander seedsVendakkai puli kuzhambu recipe
  • followed by the fenugreek seeds.Vendakkai puli kuzhambu recipe
  • saute for a minute or less in low flame just to heat it up. let it not get burnt. the flavour of coriander and fenugreek has to come out, thats the reason we heat it up in oil before adding onionsVendakkai puli kuzhambu recipe
  • now, add the onions (preferably small onions). adding small onions makes the curry more authenticVendakkai puli kuzhambu recipe
  • Chillies goes next. I prefer adding a mix of normal dry red chillies and kashmiri red chillies for the reason it gives good colour and spice to the curry. If you do not have kashmiri red chillies, add the normal chillies itself. Vendakkai puli kuzhambu recipe
  • Fry this until the onions turn slightly brown

next is to fry the ladies finger,  it is important step to be followed to remove the stickiness. Add oil in a pan, add ladies finger, salt to taste and Fry till it is slightly roasted.



heat oil in the same pan and add mustard seeds, when it crackles, add fennel seeds.

It tends to thicken. So add enough water. The longer it sits on counter, the tastier it is when served. The tanginess gets in and gives the perfect taste.Vendakkai puli kuzhambu recipe
