Vendakkai kara kuzhambu

Vendakkai kara kuzhambu is one of our very frequent gravies, easy to prepare and delicious. Just another traditional Kara Kuzhambu recipe with Vendakkai flavored with coconut fennel paste. Vendakkai is a popular healthy food due to its high fiber, vitamin C, and folate content. Vendakkai/Okra is also known for being high in antioxidants and is also often eaten as part of a weight loss diet since it is both fat-free and cholesterol-free.
