Bhindi ( Okra aka Lady Finger)

 


Ingredients :

1. 1 pound of Okra. Try to pick slim and long okras. Chop into round discs.1 okra should give you atleast 10-12 pieces. 

2. 1/2 cup mustard oil

3. 1/4 teaspoon Asafoetida 

4. 1 teaspoon fennel seeds

5. 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

6. 1/4 teaspoon turmeric 

7. 1 tablespoon coriander powder 

8. 1/4 teaspoon red chilli powder 

9. 1/2 teaspoon amchur powder ( dry mango powder)

10. Salt to taste 


Method: 

1. Heat the oil in a pan. Keep heat medium. 

2. Add Asafoetida, fennel seeds, cumin seeds and wait for them to splatter. 

3. Add the chopped okra and keep frying. It will release a gum-like substance, just keep frying. It will dissolve as the okra fries. 

4. As the okra turns brown add all other spices and keep frying till it turns a bit crispy. 

5. Turn off heat and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to soak in all the excess oil. 

6. Serve with bread or naan or on a bed of rice and daal.
