Charishma'S Very Tasty Bhindi Masala
- 1 1/4 tablespoons coriander powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 medium green chili pepper, chopped
- 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 1 tablespoon cumin seed
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1/4 cup oil, to fry ladyfinger
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 lb okra (bhindi)
- 2 tablespoons oil, for seasoning
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- Heat oil in a wok.
- Once hot, toss in the cumin and mustard seeds. Allow to splutter.
- Once it stops spluttering, add green chilli and onions. Stir-fry on medium heat until browned. Remove from heat and keep aside in a plate.
- Pour 1/4 cup of oil in the same wok.
- Add the chopped okra and stir-fry for a few minutes until cooked and aromatic. This way, the okra will not split while cooking and the dish turns out very tasty.
- Remove the okra from heat, once fried and lightly browned.
- Add the sauteed onion mixture back to the wok and toss in the fried okra. Mix well to combine and allow to cook for a minute on medium heat.
- Now, add all the masala {spice} powders and mix well.
- Allow to cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, mix well and cover the wok. Allow the flavours to blend well and the tomatoes to cook until softened. This takes about 7 minutes.
- Uncover, add salt and mix well.
- Allow to cook for 2 minutes on medium heat.
- Remove from flame and serve hot with rotis.
- Enjoy!
