Lady's Fingers if you please!

Finally I get some time to blog after a busy week at work. The weekend was well spent though watching movies, lazing around and catching up with friends :)

I made Bhindi Fry on Friday and intended to post it as my entry to Nupur's L of Indian vegetables, but never got to doing it on time. Still I am contended with the fact that I actually cooked something on a Friday night. Blogging has its own advantages for lazy bums like me:)

Here is a delicious way of cooking Okra/Lady's Fingers/Bhindi dry. Amchoor powder is the magic ingredient in this recipe, which gives the bhindi a tangy twist. This dish goes very well as a side with Dal and Rice.

You need :
1 onion finely chopped
25-30 Okra sliced length wise
Ginger grated
cumin seeds
amchur powder
garam masala
red chilli powder
salt to taste
oil

To make Bhindi Fry

Heat some oil in a skillet and add cumin seeds and grated ginger. Once the seeds start spluttering add the chopped onions and fry until golden brown.Add the Garam Masala, Amchoor Powder and Salt. Mix the spices well and add the sliced bhindi. Mix lightly and cover the lid. Cook well with occasional stirring. Make sure that the Masala does not stick to the pan. Once fully cooked,let the Bhindi cool for a while. Serve as a side with Dal Chawal.
