Sauting the ladies finger

Bhindi Masala
  • Wash the ladies finger and pat them dry.Cut into 1 inch pieces.
  • Heat a fry pan with little oil and add the ladies finger,sprinkle little salt and cook for 3-4 mins.Keep aside.
  • Heat oil in a kadai,add the onions and fry till it turns golden brown.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and fry till tomatoes become soft.Now add all the masala powders,salt and cook well till the raw smell of the masala goes off. 
  • Add little water,salt and cook for 2-3 mins.
  • Finally add the ladies finger and mix well with the gravy and cook in low flame for 3-4 mins.
  • Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves and serve.
Note:
  • Frying the ladies finger separately in a pan and adding to the gravy is optional.You can add the ladies finger directly after frying the masala,but I prefer frying separately before adding to the gravy.
