My Spicyhut

Hi all ..iam being too long since I updated my site..bit busy with my lill busy bee( my daughter)..Iam in India  now..enjoying mom’s food  and mother India.

This Bendakaya  roti pachadi is made my ammamma (maternal grandma) . she is a cooking expert I feel because every one praises her cooking.

This bendakaya pachadi / ladies finger chetney is very n crunchy with raw onion pieces …soft ladies fingers are preferred for this pachadi (letha bendakayalu)

The below recipe gives a small bowl of chetney.

Ingredients:-

Bendakayalu tender ones :  10

green chillies  :3 (based on the spicyness of thr chillies)

• salt as per taste
• oil 2 spoons
• tamarind 1 spoon (a very small ball)
• turmeric 1/2 tspn
• cumin seeds /jeelakarra 1 tspn
• garlic cloves 3 or 4
• Raw onion :half

Procedure:-

• Wash the ladies fingers  n chop into 2 inches length wise.
• Pour a spoon of oil in a pan and fry these chopped vegetables in a very low flame.. sprinkle 2 pinches of salt on the vegetables  cover them with let n let it cook till soft…once they r half cooked open the lid n pour some water like 1/4th cup so that they will b cooked to soft. once they r done..remove them to a plate.
• In the same pan add some oil n fry the green chilles  on a very low flame till they slightly change their color..(make a small cut on every chilli to avoid bursting while frying them)
• Now grind all the ingredients except cooked ladies fingers and onion.
• Add little salt as required..grind them nicely..now add ladies finger pieces grind once ..now add raw onion n grind once..that's it
• Remove to a bowl n make talimpu/seasoning if u like.
• * if u r making this pachadi in a mixer don’t blend it to too soft.All the pieces should be visible..should not be like paste.
