- First, lets roast the ladies finger in oil and some salt. Roast until its half cooked. Remove from heat and set aside. In the same pan, we will make the masala paste for the Kuzhambu. Heat oil in the same pan and add cumin seeds, curry leaves and garlic. Then add the onions. Sauté briefly for a couple of minutes until the onions are soft. Then add the tomatoes and sauté till the tomatoes are soft. Add in the shredded coconut. Sauté for another couple of minutes. Remove the pan off heat and grind the mixture to a smooth paste. Add little water to grind. Soak a tamarind in two cups of water for 15-20 minutes. Squeeze to extract the pulp. Discard the seeds and Set aside. Heat oil in a separate kadai and add in the fenugreek seeds, urad dal, mustard, dried red chillies and curry leaves. Let the mustard seeds crackle. Add in the ground masala. Add in the tamarind extract, coriander powder, turmeric, chilli powder, sambar powder, salt and a little bit of jaggery all at once. Add a cup or more of water. Close the pan with a lid and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes on low flame. Add in the cooked okra and let it simmer for another 5 more minutes. Serve hot with rice.
