Bhindi Ki Sabzi / Okra Stir Fy

Okra is my all-time favourite vegetable. In India, we call it 'bhindi' or 'lady fingers'. Everyone has a different and unique style of making this vegetable. I know a lot of people who hate to prepare okra because it is very slimy. To get rid of this, be sure to wash the okra well and dry well with a napkin pressing it a little. Use a clean and dry knife for cutting okra and make sure you discard the head and the tail. Okra is one vegetable in which water should not be added while cooking as it tends to be more slimy and sticky. This is a very simple and easy stir fry that you can make almost in no time.

Ingredients:- 

• ¼ kg okra / lady fingers (chop in 1 inch sized pieces)
• 1 onion (finely sliced)
• 2 green chillies (finely chopped)  
• 1 tbsp oil 
• ½ tsp cumin seeds
• ¼ tsp turmeric pdr
• salt to taste

Method:-

• Heat oil in a wok. 
• Add sliced onion, green chillies and cumin seeds.
• Saute till onion starts changing colour.
• Add turmeric pdr, okra and salt. 
• Mix well, cover and cook on slow flame till done.
• Serve with hot rotis or as a side dish for dal-chawal.

Notes:-

• Just check and stir the okras once or twice in between the cooking. Cover again and let it cook.

Happy Cooking!!
