Bhindi Masala / Okra Masala

Okra Masala













Bhindi masala is a North Indian dish made with Okra which is a dish mainly eaten along with Roti or Chapatis. It has tomato in it for the tanginess and its also spicy enough for the second rounds :-)
I made it today and had with Rice and i really don't know why people restrict it to Rotis or Chapatis alone. It tasted good with Rice too
Maybe you can give it a try with Rice and let me know whether you liked it

Ingredients (Serves 2)
Okra chopped- 150 gms
Cumin - 1 tsp
Onion chopped lengthwise - 1/2 onion
Tomato chopped- 1 medium
Turmeric - a pinch
Salt
Chilly Powder - 1 tspn
Curry Leaves - few
Oil - 2 tbsp

Heat oil in a pan and splutter the Cumin seeds.
Now add the onion and salt and saute it. Now add the tomato along with turmeric and saute it till the tomato is cooked.
Now add the chilly powder and saute till the raw smell goes (around 1 min). Do a taste test and add the okra pieces and mix into the prepared spice mixture and cook it closed in medium heat till the okra gets cooked
Keep stirring in between.

Serve with hot rice or with Chapati

Happy Eating!!!
