Crispy Ladies Finger In Yogurt

One more in my salad series, very tasty I must admit, if made correctly. Needs patience to bring the ladies finger  to the right crisp texture without burning it. Tastes great with pooris, parathas and phulkas. Tastes yummy as it is too, before and after mixing the yogurt!! Here goes the recipe

500 gms of ladies finger chopped into thin roundels
2 cups of fresh yogurt
2 green chillies chopped
Salt to taste
1/4 tsp sugar
Coriander for garnishing
3 tspn of oil, mustard seeds and asafoetida for tempering

Method

In a pan take oil, add mustard seeds, let them splutter, add asafoetida, the chopped chillies saute a bit and add the ladies finger, now you need to stir this occasionally till the pieces become light brown and crisp, sometimes the ladies fingers tend to be too slimy, at such a time you can squeeze a dash of lime or sprinkle little dry mango powder. As you keep sauteing the sliminess will disappear. Once almost done add salt and sugar, transfer to a serving bowl once done. add the coriander and keep ready. Add yogurt once you are  ready to serve.
