Bendakaya Pulusu Koora (Okra Tamarind Dry Curry)

This is my another addition to the dry curry recipes category.
I love Andhra cuisine and learnt this dish from a friend.Its easy to make and taste so good.I normally make it as a dry curry recipe.It can also be made as a gravy.
I used rasam powder in this curry since it has most of the spices.Alternatively Red Chilli powder can also be used.

Ingredients :

2 cups of chopped Okra(Bendakaya or Vendaikai)
2 Tablespoon of Tamarind Extract
A little more than 1/2 tablespoon of Rasam Powder
A pinch of asafoetida powder
2 tablespoon of sesame oil
Salt



Heat 2 tablespoon of sesame oil in a deep saute pan.Add the okra pieces and saute for few mins.
Add tamarind extract,salt and the rasam powder.Mix well,cover the pan and cook till the okras becomes soft,tender and dry.
Then add asafoetida powder and mix well and serve hot with rice/rotis.
