Wednesday, December 20, 2023
Bendekayi Palya is one more of the side dish had with rice and Rasam or Sambar or Huli(curry).
This is similar to other Mangalore style Palya with grated coconut but, with slight difference here and there.
For Bendekai, the main part is when prepping it, Since it has the tendency to get all slimy, there is one extra step before cutting them. So please read the instructions below.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups - Okra/Bendekai/Bhindi
- ½ tsp - Mustard Seeds
- 10 - Curry Leaves
- 1 tbsp - Rasam Powder (any brand will do)
- ¼ tsp - Turmeric Powder
- ¼ cup - Grated Coconut
- ¼ tsp - tamarind paste
- Pinch of asafoetida
- 2 tsp - Oil
- Salt to taste
Method:
- Wash Bendekai and drain the water completely. Use a kitchen towel and wipe each one of it separately. Now cut them into circles (kind of, as they look more like hexagon). Keep aside. NOTE: Watch out, there may be worms inside, so keep an eye while cutting. Once the cutting is done, rest is easy. But its worth the effort.
- Heat the oil in a pan, when hot, add mustard seeds.
- Once mustard seeds starts to splutters, add curry leaves and asafoetida.
- Add turmeric powder. Stir for 30 second.
- Now, add Bendekai and salt. Sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Next, sprinkle bit of water, reduce the flame, cover and cook for about 5 minutes or until the Bendekai is almost cooked.
- Now add grated Coconut and Rasam powder. Mix, cover and cook for couple of minutes.
- Now dilute tamarind paste with a tablespoon of water and mix with the palya. Let it cook stirring in-between until all the water is dried. Turn off the stove.
- Serve hot with Rice.
