Vendakka Kichadi(Lady's finger kichadi)

I love anything with curd in it. But this one is a unique and tasty kichadi recipe. Lady's finger is perfectly stir fried before curd is added. It gives the dish a perfect taste which is quite unlike the usual kichadi recipes. It tastes best when served with matta rice and sambar and this is an accepted combo meal in my home.
Ingredients
Vendakka (okra)/Lady's Finger- 1 cup
Coconut -1/4 cup
Green Chilli -1
Curry Leaves few
Jeera- 1/2 tsp
Yogurt/Curd- 1 cup
Mustard -1/2 tsp
Curry Leaves -few
Red Chilli -1
Oil and salt to taste
Method
Cut the Lady's finger into thin circles. The thinner the better.
Heat oil in a pan and add the mustard.
When it sputters, add the curry leaves and red chilli.
When it sizzles, add the cut okra and fry it till it starts to brown.
Transfer to a bowl and let it cool.
In the meanwhile, grind coconut, curry leaves, green chilli and jeera into a fine paste adding enough water.
Pour this into the cooled Vendakka.
Add some salt and yogurt and mix well.
