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.
  8. Mean while, heat oil and put in the tempering ingredients and add sliced garlic. When the garlic is fragrant, add the sautéed ladyfingers.
  9. Add extracted tamarind juice, and adjust water so that there is 2 ½ cups of water in the pan.
  10. Add turmeric, sambar powder and mix well. Simmer for 8 minutes.
  11. Meanwhile grind the sautéed onion, tomato and coconut with little water to form a paste. Add it to the boiling gravy along with little water.
  12. Boil for 3 more minutes until the gravy is thick.
  13. Serve.
