Punjabi Bhindi/Okra

Ladyfingers/Okra/Bhindi, is one of my favorite dishes, I like it served in any style. My interest on  Okra made me choose 'Punjabi Bhindi' as my first post. I borrowed this, from 'Sanjeev Kapoor's Khazana'.A simple and very easy to cook recipe that goes well with both rice and roti. 


   

Ingredients:

250 Grams Okra, cut into cylinders,
2 Medium Onions, sliced,
2 Green Chillies, slit,
2 teaspoons Red Chilli Powder,
1/4 teaspoon Turmeric Powder,
2 teaspoons Coriander Powder,
1 teaspoon Dried Mango (Amchur) Powder,
1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds,
Salt to taste,
2 tablespoons Oil.


Preparation:


  • Wash and dry Okras, make sure that Okras are not wet. 
  • Heat Oil in a non stick pan and allow it to heat. 
  • Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds and sliced green chillies, saute it for half a minute.
  • Add onions and saute them till brown.
  • Now, add okras and toss to mix them with onions, green chillies and cumin seeds.To this, add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, salt and dried mango powder (amchur).
  • Mix well and cook on low heat till the vegetable is done.
  • Serve hot with rice/roti.
