Okra paruppu usili-south indian style Recipe

This recipe is an adaptation of a traditional south indian (tamil brahmin) recipe of paruppu usili, but with a twist. I prepared this dish with some leftover dal (lentil curry) to make a simple and yummy side dish today. I must say we at home really enjoyed this amazing concoction with chapattis. It also goes well as a side dish with curd-rice, sambar-rice or dal-chawal. So check for a step by step method with pictures to prepare it.
