Puli Pachadis can be prepared from either of these vegetables Okra(bende kayi) ( need to be fried in oil), Plantain stem (Bale dandu), pumpkin (sihi kumbala kayi) and brinjal you can use one vegetable only (cannot use combo)...
  The method is to boil the vegetable in tamarind water with salt, hing curry leaves and jaggery..
  while its boiling prepare masala with coconut, mustard seeds (I used rai jeera) and green chilli  when vegetable is 3/4 done add the masala n boil till veg is fully cooked lastly temper with methi seeds n switch off flame....
