How to make Ladies Finger Thoran Kerala style
1.Heat coconut oil in a nonstick/ Iron Tawa and crackle mustard seeds, cumin seeds and curry leaves.
2. When it crackles, add chopped onions and fry until they get transparent.
3. Further to the transparent onions, finely chopped ladies finger goes in. Fry in medium/simmer until they are fried well and roasted.
4. Finally grind coconut, turmeric powder, chilli powder and cumin seeds to a coarse paste. Add the paste to the thoran along with salt. The reason for adding salt is for a crispy fry. If you add them at the beginning, then the okra becomes sticky by leaving out water. Mix well and fry for a couple of minutes.
