Bhindi Masala Recipe

A popular vegetarian dish in India, Bhindi Recipe (sometimes called Okra Masala) is flavorful and easy to prepare. Here’s a simple and quick recipe:

Ingredients of Bhindi Masala Recipe:

• 1/2kg (500g) fresh bhindi (okra or ladyfinger), washed and trimmed
• 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or mustard oil)
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 tomatoes, finely chopped
• 2 green chilies, slit (optional for extra heat)
• 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• Salt to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Okra:
   • Wash and dry the okra thoroughly. This is an important step because any moisture will cause the okra to become slimy while cooking.
   • Cut the tops off each okra and slice them into 1-inch pieces (you can cut them into rounds or diagonally, depending on your preference).
2. Cook the Okra:
   • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the sliced okra and stir-fry them for about 10-15 minutes, stirring now and then. Cooking the okra until it is soft and has a hint of color is the lightly browned. Keep it slightly crisp since you don’t want it to get too soft. Put aside the okra.
3. Make the Masala:
   • Another tablespoon of oil should be added to the same pan. When it’s heated, add the cumin seeds on top and let wait for break the cumin seeds
   • Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until golden brown. This is Bhindi Fry with onion.
   • Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies (if using) and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
   • Add the chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook the mixture for 7-10 minutes until the tomatoes soften and the oil starts to separate from the masala.
4. Combine Okra with Masala:
   • Add the cooked okra into the masala. Make sure the spices are evenly distributed over the okra by gently combining all the ingredients.
   • Sprinkle the garam masala and stir again. Let everything cook together for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
5. Garnish & Serve:
   • Garnish the Bhindi Fry with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
   • Serve the Bhindi Dish hot with roti, naan, or steamed rice!

Tips:

• Before cooking, make sure the okra is completely dried to reduce its sliminess.
• To give the dish a tangy edge, you may also add a splash of lemon juice or a pinch of amchur, which is dried mango powder.
• For a more flavorful version, you can add a little kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) towards the end.
