How to Make Kadai bhindi with capsicum

  • Clean the lady's fingers, pat dry and cut them into bite size pieces. Deep fry in oil, if desired, or fry them with a little oil in a kadai, so that the green colour of the vegetable remains but the stickiness is gone.
  • Heat oil in a broad pan. Add the tempering ingredients, followed by the crushed coriander seeds.
  • Immediately add the onions and fry, till just transparent.
  • Add ginger garlic paste and fry till raw smell goes off.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes with some salt, to soften it faster.
  • Add turmeric, garam masala, red chilli and coriander powders.
  • Mix well and fry till tomato is cooked.
  • Add cashew nut paste and fry for a minute, till oil separates.
  • Add capsicum and fry on a medium flame for a minute.
  • Add the deep fried lady's fingers and salt.
  • If you want a gravy, add more water or milk.
  • If you want a semi dry sabzi, just sprinkle a little water.
  • Cook for 2 minutes on medium flame and stir well.
  • Cook covered again, for another 2 minutes.
  • And finally, add more coriander leaves to garnish.
  • Serve hot with rotis or with any pulav of your choice.
