Ingredients

• Bhindi (cut into 1/2 inch slices) - 1/2 kg
• Salt - 1 tsp
• Chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
• Ajwain - 1/2 tsp
• Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
• Urad dal - 1 tsp
• Hing (asafoetida) - 1/2 tsp
• turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
• Oil - 2 tsp

How to Make Fried Bhindi

• Place the cut okra in a single layer on a microwave-safe plate and cook on 'high', uncovered, for 4 minutes.
• If necessary, cook the okra in two or three lots.
• No salt is to be added now. This will ensure that the okra is cooked, but without stickiness, and the bright green colour is maintained.
• Next, heat the 2 tsp oil in a kadai, and fry the mustard, urad dal and ajwain.
• Add the cooked bhindi pieces. Add turmeric, hing, salt, chilli powders and fry for a couple of minutes till the masalas are well absorbed.
• Your dry bhindi sabji is ready and looks green and appetising.
