Cuisine: Tamil

Recipe By Slurrp

Bhindi (ladies finger/ vendakkai) cooked in a tamarind (puli) gravy (kuzhambu) flavoured with spices and garlic.This Vendakkai puli kuzhambu curry is for the love of tamarind. Every Tamilian house would have a version of this curry. Its really hard to qualify a recipe as authentic. To me, if the recipe was passed on from a grand mother, its as authentic as it can get. This curry paired with rice makes a very satisfying meal.
