Apr 26, 2012 · Modified: Apr 26, 2025 by Priya_Srinivasan ·

What to make for Dinner? That has become one stressful question these days. Sometimes i end up cooking the same thing again and again. Whether my dear hubby is getting bored or not, my lil fella gets really bored. Now-a-days he gives me list of what i have to make for him. After the normal Bhindi Fry/Okra Fry which i make for Rice, he wanted something different with that vegetable.

When he tasted this Okra/Bhindi Masala, which i made for dinner once, he relished it and asked me make Bhindi/Okra only this way and not the regular fry. i m not sure, how long this will be enjoyed, but till then i m happy to make it . This Bhindi/Okra Masala is part of the Dinner Thali i posted last week.

Ingredients

12-15 nos Okra's/Bhindi's

2 Medium onions, finely chopped

2 medium-size tomatoes, finely chopped

1 teaspoon Red Chili Powder

1 teaspoon Coriander Powder

¼ teaspoon turmeric Powder

½ teaspoon Garam Masala

¼ teaspoon Cumin/jeera seeds

2 cloves of garlic,minced

a small piece of ginger, shredded

Salt to taste

3 teaspoon Oil

1-2 teaspoon Coriander leaves for garnishing

Method

Wash and Pat dry the Okra's/Bhindi's using a kitchen towel. Chop the head and tail off and Cut them into 1 inch pieces.

Heat a 2 teaspoon of oil in a Non-Stick pan, add the cut bhindi's/Okra's, sprinkle little salt and Cook them in a slow flame until they are done. It takes about 10-15 for them to get cooked. Toss them frequently or else they might get burnt. Once done, remove them on a Kitchen Towel.

Heat another tsp of oil in the same pan, splutter jeera/cumin seeds. Add Onion, garlic and ginger and saute till onions turn translucent.

Add Chopped tomatoes and the dry powders and cook until oil separates. Add the Fried okra's to this mixture and Mix well. Garnish with fresh Coriander leaves and Serve Hot with Roti's/Rice.
