Kadai Bhindi!

Bhindi is something that people across the world love!! More so with the Indians!
Far away here, i had till date never got really good Bhindi- Ladies finger-Okra-Bendekayi!
I have eaten Bhindi fries at the restaurants here, but strangely never found it good anywhere.

Finally my search ended at Little India , I found the best bhindi!














Back home, i wanted to make something different from what is usually made at home.
Hmm... so a no-no to sambar, gojju and roasted dry sabzi[palya].
I tried this innovative method and made a delicious concoction :)))) !!




In a kadai it is..So I am going to call it Kadai Bhindi!!
Tip- before chopping the Bhindi, keep it for drying under the fan for a while[say for about a couple of hours], so u can chop it directly and you dont need to wipe every bhindi to remove excess water!

Ingredients-

1. Bhindi- 500 grams or half a kilo [fine chopped]



2. Tomato- 2[finely chopped]



3. Onion- 1 [finely chopped]

For Tempering-

1. Jeera- 1 tablespoon



2. Oil- 3 tablespoons

For spice-

1. Garam Masala- 3 table spoons



2. Chilli powder- 2 table spoons

Quarter glass of water.
Salt to taste. And not to forget Coriander for garnishing!

Method-

• Heat oil and add Jeera. Then add onions and fry till raw smell goes.


• Now add the chopped Bhindi. Fry a little and then add salt.


• Cover and keep for it to slowly fry in its own water while stirring occassionally to avoid it from burning.
  
• After about 5 mins, add the tomatoes. Mix it well. Cover and keep stirring in between.
  
• Add the water after you see that the tomato is well cooked and is soft.
  
• Cover and let it cook. After 5 mins check and add the spices.
  
• Mix well and let it cook.
  
• After the water evaporates, it will become semi-dry and now...Garnish with coriander leaves!

Its ready to be served!!!

Best eaten with Chapathi/ Phulka!

Happy eating!
