I love this simple recipe of Bhindi ( okra ). This recipe is from The spice who loved me and i have made it several times, infact its one of my favourite recipe for bhindi fry now :-)Ingredients:
1/2 kg bhindi ( okra ) - I used fresh as the frozen ones I tried were not good at all, so I dont use frozen bhindi anymore.
1 tbsp - cooking oil
1/4 tsp - haldi ( turmeric ) pdr
1/2 tsp - pickle masala ( I got it from Indian grocery store )
a pinch - hing
1/4 tsp - jeera ( cumin seeds )
salt to taste
Heat a pan on the stove top and put oil in it. Add jeera, when it splutters, add hing and then haldi powder. Stir fry for 1/2 a min. Add chopped bhindi. Fry on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add the pickle powder and salt ( I didnt add sugar which is the only variation I did from the original recipe and didnt use whole okra either ). Cook without the lid till the bhindi softens a little and take it off the stove.
Its ready and we ate it with daal and roti for dinner last night.

Hi! just discovered your 'kitchen' the bhindi sounds good so does a couple of other things! Will visit here too now.
Diya - Hey thats nice of you, thanks ! And welcome to my simple way of cooking, you will find plain everyday food I cook for lunch or dinner as I don't put much effort in cooking, unlike the real food bloggers who cook mindblowing dishes. We go to restaurants for fancy stuff ;-)
