Bindi / Vendaikkai Raitha

                   Vendaikkai Raitha is fast and easy to prepare. This is a good combination for any Variety Rice or Chapathis.


Ingredients :
Bindi Raitha

Vendaikkai    12 - 15
Curd    1 cup
Onion (optional)   1
Red Chillies / Green Chillies  3
Mustard, Oil 1 tbsp., Salt
Grated coconut ( optional )  3 tbsp.


Method :

1. Heat oil, add Mustard, Curry Leaves and the Chillies, broken or sliced.

2. Then add the finely chopped onions and sauté well.

3. Then add the sliced Vendaikkai, salt and sauté on medium flame.

4. When the Vendaikkais are almost cooked, Switch off and let them cool. The Vendaikkai  must retain the green colour.

5. Mix the curd and salt. Add Coriander Leaves. The special Raitha is ready.

Note :

Some people coarsely grind the coconut, 4 cloves, 1 red Chilly and Mustard in the mixer and add 2 mins. before switching off. I tried that also. For me, the taste is not worth the trouble of grinding in the mixer.

You can also try that  way once.
