Stuffed Bhindi (Okra) North Indian style.

Hi Friends,

Let's share the recipe for stuffed bhindi (Okra) today....You all must be cooking Okra in your styles and every style has a unique taste too...let's see how you like stuffed okras in a typical North Indian Style.

STUFFED BHINDI (OKRA):

INGREDIENTS:

Bhindi (Okra)

Onion

Garlic

Dhania (Coriander) powder

Haldi (Turmeric) powder

Mirchi (Red chili) powder

Methi dana (Fenugreek seeds)

Saunf (Aniseed)

Kalonji (Nigella seed)

Aamchur (Dry mango) powder

Salt

Oil

METHOD:

Wash and slit bhindis and keep them aside.

Grind onion and garlic and fry it in hot oil. Add dhania powder, haldi powder and mirchi powder in it and fry well.

In a separate pan roast Methi, Saunf and Kalongi in a proportion of 1:3:1 and grind coarsely. Add this masala in the other masala with aamchur powder and fry till the masala starts leaving oil..that's the indication that masala has been fried.

Let the masala cool a little and fill it in bhindi.

Now take a pan...smear it with little oil and place all bhindis in it.Cover it with the lid and let it cook on low heat...keep turning gently so that stuffing doesn't come. Serve hot.

TIP: The same masala can be used for stuffed baigan (brinjal/egg plant), stuffed, taroi (ridge gourd) or karela (bitter gourd)....I use a little jaggery/sugar too when I use this bharwa masala for karelas.

Happy cooking....
