By , About.com Guide

Serve Bharvaan Bhindi as the perfect crunchy accompaniment to plain boiled rice and a Daal (lentil dish) of your choice.

Ingredients:

  • 500 gms baby okra
  • 5 tbsps coriander powder
  • 3 tbsps cumin powder
  • 1 tbsp raw mango powder
  • 1/4 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp red chilli powder
  • 2-3 tbsps vegetable/canola/ sunflower cooking oil
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tbsps cornflour
  • Vegetable/ canola/ sunflower cooking oil for deep frying

Preparation:

  • Wash the okra and pat dry with a clean cloth. Make a partial lengthwise slit (like a pocket) in each okra (such that it does not completely open up).
  • Mix all the spices, salt to taste. Add enough cooking oil and mix well to form a thick paste.
  • Stuff the slit in each okra with a little bit of this paste. Lay the stuffed okra in a plate to form a single layer.
  • Sprinkle the stuffed okra with the cornflour and then roll around to coat well.
  • Heat the cooking oil for frying, in a deep pan on a medium flame. When hot, add the okra and fry till crisp. Drain and remove from oil.
  • Serve immediately with plain boiled rice and a Daal (lentil dish) of your choice.
