Okra Pachidi with Coconut Milk

Today Im sharing you a simple pachidi which I learnt from my mother. Unlike the usual pachidi where we add tamarind and masalas, this is a different one, the okras are cooked in coconut milk n no masalas. My mother used to make them everytime she makes fish biriyani or fish kurma.
Sending them to Veggie/Fruit a month- Okra guest hosted by Kiran event by Priya Mitharwal and also to Priya Mitharwal's event BSI-OKRA

Fenugreek seeds          1/4tsp
Curry leaves                 few
