  • 200 grams bhindi/okra
  • 2 tablespoon mustard oil
  • 4 cloves garlic roughly chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

  • 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garam masala powder + 2 pinch of garam masala to sprinkle
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 generous pinch Kasoori methi
  • 1 tablespoon coriander leaves roughly chopped
Instructions
  1. Step 1. Wash and clean bhindi. Dry them with a tissue paper. More the moisture, more sliminess will be there so try to dry as much as possible.
  2. Cut and remove the top and tail of bhindi and chop them roughly.
  3. Step 2. Place a frying pan on medium heat. Add oil. Once heated, add cumins seeds to crackle. Add chopped garlic and saute till the raw aroma goes away.
  4. Step 3. Add sliced onions and saute till they become translucent.
  5. Step 4. Now when onions are cooked and they have changed colour to pink; add green chillies and saute for 20 seconds.
  6. Step 5. Turn the heat to minimum. Add spices red chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder and cumin powder.
  7. Mix and saute for 30 seconds.
  8. Step 6. Add bhindi and saute. Add salt to taste and mix.
  9. Step 7. Cover the lid and cook bhindi for 7- 8 minutes on low heat. In between stir 2 -3 times to avoid burn. Do not over stir it as bhindi will crush.
  10. After slow cooking of 7 - 8 minutes, bhindi is cooked.
  11. Step 8. Then add chopped coriander leaves, crushed kasoori methi and sprinkle 2 pinch of garam masala.
  12. You may also add raw mango powder(amchur powder) which is optional. I have not added as I don't like tanginess in bhindi fry recipe.
  13. Step 9. Saute it well and turn off the gas. Delicious bhindi fry recipe is ready to serve with hotphulkaand can be accompanied with North indian style dal fry.
