Okra With Buttermilk
Okra with buttermilk is the dish my mother makes on Rushipanchami which generally comes on 2nd day in Ganesh Festival. With the simple and handful of ingredients, this dish will surely make you go for the second helping. Okra is a slimy vegetable. Buttermilk helps to neutralize all the slime of okra. Roasted peanut powder adds the nutty flavor and green chilies provide the punch to this dish. This dish can be served with Chapati/Bhakri.
