This Ladies finger tamarind kootu / vendakkai puli kootu tastes so delicious when had with hot steaming rice and goes well with idli, dosa and even chapathi too. This is a very simple recipe, the sourness from tamarind and the spiciness from green chilli, makes this dish tastes tangy and hot with added spices. It is different from the regular kootu varieties, as we don’t use coconut or curd. Let’s go to the recipe making…..
