Instructions
  1. Cut ladyfingers into one-inch pieces.
  2. Peel the shallots, roughly cube the tomatoes and slice the garlic into thin circles.
  3. Soak the tamarind in ½ cup hot water for 30 minutes and extract the juice with another ½ cup of water. Keep aside.
  4. In a pan, add sesame oil and fry the ladies finger on medium flame stirring every now and then until the pieces are slightly brown. Keep aside.
  5. In the same pan, fry peeled shallots. Add oil if needed.
  6. Once onion turns transparent, add cubed tomatoes.
  7. When the tomatoes become soft, add coconut and fry for a minute. Transfer to a plate. Let it cool down.
