Besan Bhindi Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 500g fresh okra (bhindi)
• 4 ½ tablespoons oil
• ¼ teaspoon fenugreek seeds
• 2 teaspoons cumin-coriander powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
• Salt to taste
• 3-4 tablespoons chickpea flour (besan)
• ½ teaspoon amchur (dried mango powder)

Instructions:

Preparation:

1. Rinse the okra under cold water and thoroughly dry them with a kitchen towel.
2. Trim off the ends of the okra and make a vertical slit along one side of each okra, ensuring not to cut through completely. This creates a pocket for stuffing.

Cooking:

1. Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2. Once the oil is hot, add fenugreek seeds and let them splutter.
3. Add the okra to the pan and stir occasionally. Leave uncovered and let it cook for about 8-10 minutes until the okra starts to turn tender.
4. Once tender, add cumin-coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt to taste. Stir well. Cover and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes.
5. Afterward, sprinkle chickpea flour over the okra and stir well. Cover and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the okra is fully cooked.
6. Sprinkle amchur powder over the cooked okra and mix well. Turn off the stove.
7. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves if desired.
8. Serve hot with roti or rice.
