Bhindi Masala/Okra Masala

One easy dish that goes well with chaptis/rotis in a punjabi style! Adding kasuri methi and amchur powder makes it more of north indian and restaurant type bhindi masala!



Preparation time : 15 to 20 mins
Cooking time : 15 mins

Ingredients:
Bhindi - 10 to 15
Tomato - 1 (chopped)
Onion - 1 1/2 - 2(finely chopped)
Ginger-Garlic paste - 1 tblspn
Kasuri methi - 1tsp (crushed)
Oil - 2 to 3 tblspn
Salt 

Spice Powders:
Red chilli powder - 1-2 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Coriander powder - 1/2 tblspn
Garam Masala powder -12 tblspn
Dry mango powder/Amchur powder - 1 tsp

Preparation:
1. Cut the bhindi/okras and dry fry on a pan till the stickiness is gone, keep stirring in between

Method:
1. Heat oil in a pan, add onions and fry till they become translucent
2. Add ginger-garlic paste and saute for few seconds
3. Now add chopped tomatoes and saute till they are soft and mushy
4. Now add all spice powders and mix well and saute for few seconds
5. If its too dry can add little water to moist it.
6. Now add fried bhindi, kasuri methi and salt and mix well so that onion and tomato masala coats bhindi well
7. Cook for 2-3 mins by stirring in between and serve hot

Note:
1. Adjust the taste accordingly at step 6
2. You can omit dry mango powder and kasuri methi if you don't have those ingredients, but yet it tastes good!
