Bhindi Masala ( Okra Stir Fry)

Bhindi Masala ( Okra Stir Fry)

Chopped Okra stir-fried with onions, tomatoes and variety of spices. A perfect side-dish to be eaten with an Indian Flatbread or put in between two slices and make a sandwich of it!

Method

1. Heat oil in a fry pan. Once its hot, add asafoetida and cumin seeds. As cumin seeds starts to change color, add the ginger and green chillies. Stir for 15-20 seconds.
2. Add the onions and stir fry until translucent. Then add the okra. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes.
3. Except Salt; add all the dry spices. We are going to add the salt in the end so that the okra doesn't turn slimy. Mix well and let okra cook on medium low heat while stirring in between until its tender.
4. Once the okra is tender, add the tomatoes and salt. Mix well. Cook it for 2 more minutes only as we don't want tomatoes to go mushy. Switch off the gas.

Delicious Okra Stir-Fry is ready to be eaten. Enjoy with Indian flat-bread and side of pappad and yogurt!
