Vendakai varuval (Lady's finger fry)

Vendakai varuval (Lady's finger fry) - Preparation time 10 to 15 mins
Lady's finger - some might like this vegetable very much some night not due to stick nature. Usually i hate lady's finger curry before marriage and now i started taking it. I will make curry which is not sticky :-). But the vendakai varuval is my all time favourite. When mom makes for side dish during lunch time it will be almost over before we start our lunch. So when to try this keep an additional vegetable dry curry.

Lady's finger (Vendaikai) - chopped to small cylindrical pieces of 1/2 inch thickness 1 cup
Salt - to taste
Chili - 1/2 tsp
Bengal gram flour (Kadalai mavu) - 2 tbsp
Rice flour (Arisi mavu)  - 1 and half tbsp

Oil - to deep fry

Preparation method:-
First in a bowl mix bengal gram flour, rice flour, chili powder, salt, asfoetida and check the spice and salt level. You can keep this mixture permanently in an airtight box so that you can use it for fries and for making baji when you have a surprise visitor's.
In a deep fry tawa heat required amount of oil to fry lady's finger.
Take a bowl add little chopped lady's finger and add the flour mixture as required using a spoon (don't ever hurry while cooking in kitchen. If you want the menu to be tasty you have to spend time). Let the flour mixture coat the vegetable.

When the oil is hot bring down the flame and add the lady's finger and fry slowly till it becomes brown. If you cook in high flame the lady finger will become brown quickly but it wont be cooked well inside.

Transfer this to a plate with tissue paper to remove excess oil.
Repeat the lady's finger and flour mixing process and fry it.
When it is cool it will be crispy and every one will love it.
Even it is too hot to try out fried items occasionally you can try. Enjoy
