Description

Vendaikai Vatral – Sun-Dried Okra (வெண்டைக்காய் வற்றல்)

Vendaikai Vatral is a traditional Tamil sun-dried vegetable made from sliced fresh okra (lady’s finger). Using time-tested drying methods, the okra is sun-dried naturally to enhance flavor and shelf life without using chemicals or preservatives.

This vatral is a staple in Tamil kitchens and is essential in making Vathal Kuzhambu, kara kuzhambu, and other traditional gravies. The texture and taste of sun-dried okra bring a depth of flavor that fresh okra can’t match. When fried or simmered in tamarind curry, it releases a smoky, tangy flavor that elevates the dish.

Our Vendaikai Vatral is 100% homemade, crafted in small batches using only sun, air, and time — no additives or artificial ingredients. It’s also vegan, gluten-free, and long-lasting, making it a smart and healthy pantry addition.
