Vendakkai thayir pachadi recipe | Okra recipes

Vendakkai thayir pachadi or okra thayir pachadi is one of my favorite. My mom makes it often on festival days when she makes full south Indian spread. I have not made on my own surprisingly this one so far. Have been thinking for long time that I should make as I was craving for this. I got few fresh okras from mustafa and wanted to make this raita. As it’s summer, good to include some thayir pachadi in out lunch. After long time had this one and enjoyed the meal.
