Bendakaya-Endu royyalu Pulusu (Okra and Dried shrimp)

This curry / pulusu is amongst the favourite dishes for those who hail from vizag, East and West Godavari districts. Its heavenly and so delicious. The basic ingredients of a "pulusu" are onion and tamarind juice. You can make this dish just with Okra (bendakaya in telugu) but the dried shrimp makes this pulusu totally a top level delicacy. Mom in law also makes this curry with eggplant/brinjal. She also adds hard boiled eggs to the curry, but I like them on the side. Any andhrites out there craving for this dish?

I like the way you presented it step-by-step with pictures. It makes it simple to follow and know how it should look after each step.
