Vathal Mandi:

http://wp.me/p1o34t-5u

Mixed vegetable and Vendaikkai,Kathirikkai(ladies finger,Brinjal) Mandi:

The main difference in this dish to the other dishes is that, Instead of water we use ‘Arisi Mandi’ the water we get while washing rice for making the gravy is the special ingredient. It is this water which gives so much taste to the gravy. If we prepare this dish on days when we soak rice for idly we can get thick mandi. we use green chillies instead of chilli powder for the hot taste.Here I prepare with Vendakkai and Brinjal in this picture. This same recipe can be followed to make vathal Mandi but should reduce the amount of tamarind.DSC08759
