Ingredients:


➤250 grams bhindi (okra/ladyfinger), washed, dried, and chopped into pieces

➤1 large onion, thinly sliced

➤2 tomatoes, chopped

➤1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste

➤1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

➤1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)

➤1 teaspoon coriander powder

➤1/2 teaspoon cumin powder

➤1/2 teaspoon garam masala

➤Salt to taste

➤2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or mustard oil works well)

➤Fresh coriander leaves for garnish



Instructions:


1. Preparation:

➤Wash the bhindi and pat it dry completely using a kitchen towel. Trim the ends and chop it into              pieces.


2. Sauté Bhindi:

➤Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.

➤Add the chopped bhindi and sauté on medium heat until they are cooked and slightly crispy. Stir            occasionally to prevent sticking. This may take about 10-12 minutes.


3. Remove Bhindi:

➤Once the bhindi is cooked, remove it from the pan and set it aside.


4. Prepare Masala:

➤In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed.

➤Add sliced onions and sauté until they become translucent.

➤Add ginger-garlic paste and cook for a minute until the raw smell disappears.

➤Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and the oil starts to separate.


5. Add Spices:

➤Lower the heat and add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam        masala, and salt. Mix well.


6. Combine Bhindi:

➤Once the masala is cooked and aromatic, add the sautéed bhindi back to the pan.

➤Mix everything well so that the masala coats the bhindi evenly.


7. Cook and Garnish:

➤Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld.

➤Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.


8. Serve:

➤Bhindi Bhaji is now ready to be served. It goes well with roti, chapati, naan, or as a side dish with          rice.


Enjoy your delicious Bhindi Bhaji!
