Vendakka Mulak Curry

(4.3 / 5)

One curry that I absolutely adore of my mom’s for lunch is the one that I am sharing with you today. Soft “vendakka” in a tangy tamarind sauce is all that is, but you could lick off plates and plates of rice without your knowledge!!! When my mom was not around, I craved for this Vendakka Mulak Curry and made them without consulting with her and I was so glad that I was able to match her taste.

Now you may think why I didn’t call her – somehow when she tells me her recipes (which are always approximates than exacts!), I always forget to note down! Then when I call her, she would ask, “Didn’t I already tell this to you?” Hmm… She feels I am old enough to stop asking her for tips and ideas and do it myself… But the thing is that I still don’t feel old enough to stop depending on her though… Hehe… Off to this recipe then, this is a simple curry that you can serve when you are out of ideas of curries for your lunch. This Vendakka Curry is a common dish in our kitchen still I didn’t got bored of it. The ladies fingers are shallow fried and cooked in a hot and spicy but tangy flavours which turns out as an excellent curry.
