Ingredients:
3 cups sliced ladies finger, cut into halves
1 tbsp oil
2 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp nigella seeds
1 ½ cups thinly sliced onions
¼ tsp turmeric powder
2 tsp ginger paste
1 tsp finely chopped green chillies
salt to taste
¾ cup thick fresh curds
Method:
1. Heat the oil in a non-stick kadhai, add the cumin seeds and nigella seeds and sauté on a medium flame for 30 seconds.
2. When the seeds crackle, add the onions and sauté on a medium flame for two to three minutes.
3. Add the turmeric powder, ginger paste, green chillies and one tbsp of water, mix well and sauté on a medium flame for two minutes.
4. Add the ladies finger and salt, mix well and cook on a medium flame for four to five minutes or till they become little tender.
5. Add the curds, mix well and cook on a medium flame for two minutes or till the curds dry out, while stirring occasionally.
6. Serve hot with a rotis or parathas.
Tips:
1. Bhindi tends to get sticky while cooking. Do not cover the pan while cooking and the stickiness will dry out without the presence of steam.
2. Cook the bhindi over a slow flame for best results.
