Okra pachadi (known as “okra yogurt” in Tamil)

Okra pachadi is an south Indian dish (it stands “okra yogurt” in Tamil). My grandmother lives in a lovely retirement community in the state of Tamil Nadu in India that serves AMAZING south Indian food. This time when I visited her, they served okra pachadi and so here I’ve adapted it and will share it below.

Ingredients:

1. 1 cup of okra
2. 3 cups of A2 milk yogurt
3. 2 tablespoons of mustard seeds
4. 3 tablespoons of avocado oil
5. 2 tablespoons of cumin powder
6. 1 teaspoon of chili powder
7. 1 teaspoon of salt

Instructions:

1. Heat up a pan.
2. As soon as the pan heats up add the oil and the mustard seeds to the pan.
3. As soon as the mustard seeds pop, add the cumin powder, chili powder, and salt to the pan and mix them well.
4. Now add the okra to the pan and cook until the okra has softened and has infused well with the other ingredients in the pan (about 8 to 10 minuets).
5. Let the mixture from the pan cool for about 5 to 8 minutes.
6. Now put the yogurt in a bowl and whisk it well.
7. Finally, add the okra mixture to the yogurt and mix everything well.
8. Serve and enjoy this amazing pachadi.
