Lady's Finger Raita / Vendakkai Pachadi

Vendakkai pachadi is a delicious kerala style raita usually served as an accompaniment in sadhya menu during onam festival and vishu.

Generally, Pachadi is a favourite dish in our family and this variety is one among them. This a simple, healthy and tasty yogurt based accompaniment. 

Some would prefer this pachadi with grounded coconut paste added; but here I have excluded it. 

Try and let me know your feedback.
