Vendakai Poriyal - preparation time 25 mins
I hate lady's finger dry curry. I prefer only lady's finger fry so when I return from school/college mom used to sit in dinning table and chat with me and serve this curry which I don't like at all. She will ensure that I complete the curry. This is her way of serving the dishes which I don't like much.
Another procedure is serving those dished when I am damn hungry. During festivals she used to make vadai, payasam, etc. Me and my brother don't like sweet and we wont even taste it. When we used to sit for dinner or lunch she used to tell that she is re-heating so slowly she used to keep the payasam cup before me and continue with her work. I will be very hungry she will tell few mins, take that payasam and I am preparing the food. When I finish the sweet she will bring everything to dining table. She will make me eat but not by forcing. Now a days things are very different.
