Easy Bharwa Bhindi





Bhindi is a popular vegetable and there are various ways to cook it.  Here I am sharing stuffed bhindi recipe which is as simple as it gets.  Normally for stuffed vegetables we roast a lot of spices, powder it and then stuff.  But here we are just assembling all the available powders to make the process simple.

Ingredients:

250 gms bhindi ( Ladyfinger/ Okra)
1 onion sliced finely
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp all spice ( garam masala) powder
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
Salt to taste
1 tsp dried mango powder ( amchur)
3 tbsp oil

Method:   Wash and dry bhindi completely.  Cut off the top and tail and make a slit on one side. Keep aside.  Continue with the rest.  Mix all the powders and add 1/2 tbsp of oil to it.  With the help of a small spoon fill the prepared powder mix to the bhindi.

In a heavy bottom pan put the oil and allow to heat up.  Add the sliced onions and fry till translucent. Take out and keep aside.  In the same oil put the stuffed bhindi.  Fry on medium heat for few minutes and then lower heat and cover for few more minutes till bhindi is soft.  Uncover and add the fried onions.  Serve hot.

Preferably get small and tender bhindi to make this recipe.  If not, cut bhindi into half .  If  you want to avoid  filling each bhindi just sprinkle powder mix over the bhindi when they're lightly fried and then cover and let cook till soft.
