Bhindi(okra)fry recipe

Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for frying bhindi (okra):

Ingredients:

• 250 grams bhindi (okra), washed and sliced
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 medium-sized onion, finely chopped
• 2 green chilies, slit (optional)
• 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
• Salt to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preparation:

• Wash the bhindi thoroughly and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Make sure there is no moisture left as it can make the bhindi sticky.
• Slice the bhindi into 1-inch pieces.

1. Cooking:

• Heat oil in a pan or kadai over medium heat.
• Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
• Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
• Add the slit green chilies and ginger-garlic paste. Sauté for another minute until the raw smell goes away.
• Add the sliced bhindi and mix well.
• Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt over the bhindi. Mix well to coat the bhindi evenly with the spices.
• Cook the bhindi on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender and slightly crispy. This may take around 10-15 minutes.
• Once the bhindi is cooked, sprinkle garam masala and give it a final mix.
• Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.

1. Serving:

• Serve hot with chapati, roti, or as a side dish with rice and dal.
