serves 2-3

Ingredients

500 g Okra

2 Medium sized onions - small diced

2-3 tsp Cumin Seeds

1/2 tsp Asfoetida Powder

3 tsp Coriander Powder

1/2 tsp Red Chilli Powder

1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder

11/2 tbsp Vegetable/Sunflower oil

Method

Wash the okra thoroughly and wipe them dry with a tea towel. Slice the okra into thin rounds and keep it aside. (you may need to wipe your knife as the slime will stick to it when you are cutting the okra)

In a wok heat the oil and add the cumin seeds and asfoetida powder. let the cumin turn a little dark brown and add the chopped onions. Saute till the begin to colour. Now add the sliced okra followed by salt and spices. Give it a good mix so that the spices are uniformly coated.

Now cover the pan and let it cook on a low flame for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes give everything a good stir, the okra should have softened. Now cook it uncovered for another 10 minutes on a medium flame to get it slightly crisp.

Choti bhindi fry is ready to be served. Enjoy with hot rotis.
