Dahi wali bhendi or Bendakaya Perugu pachadi (okra in yogurt sauce)
I came across Tomato Perugu Pachadi (yoghurt curry) in Sailu's blog and experimented it a little by adding okras to it. The results, you can see in the picture.
Bedakaya Perugu Pachadi (Okra- Yogurt based Chutney)

1 cup medium chopped Okra
1/2 cup tomatoes chopped or puree

Salt
For tempering
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp split moong dal
2-4 dry red chillies

2 tbsp curry leaves
2tsp oil
Preparation
In a deep bottomed pan, add oil and temper with all the given ingredients. Add onions and saute till translucent. Add the chopped okra and fry along with the onions until soft. Also add turmeric, tomato, salt and green chillies. Let them get cooked for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it cool. Beat the yogurt and add it to this mixture. It goes great with rice.
Fenugreek
Methi Aloo/ Fenugreek leaves with potato

Sharmi, Congratulations girl. You do rock. As I always kept saying you were great right from the beginning. Keep up the good work. Cooking something from your own garden harvest feels so good right? and the dish automatically tastes yummy. Okra patch looks delicious. I need to try growing okra next time. Loves and wishes again.

Happy Independence Day Sharmi and Congarts for the award.. keep rockinn.. girl.. Nice gren harvest recipes..
Well sharmi u can keep eya chombu on gas..but on low flame... when the rasam boil in it it gives that out of the world taste... some people cook in other vessel and then pour the hot rasam in the eyam chombu...u need to be careful... coz its less heat resistant and melts easily....thanx for visitng my blog dear.
Sharmi, congratulations on the well deserving award, you really rock.. those garden pics of okra and methi are simply superb...tx for sharing
Really you work nice then you deserve it my dear.:)
Very nice recipe.:))
