Bhindi or Bhendi (Marathi) or Okra is a favorite with our family. I try cook this vegetable in many different ways to experiment with new flavors. This time I made it Achari style - with pickling spices. Needless to say it was a hit at our dinner table. So here is the recipe.......
Ingredients: Okra - 3 cups (I used frozen packet), Oil -1 tablespoon (mustard oil - optional), whole achari (pickling) spice mix - 2 tsp (take mixture of fenugreek/methi seeds (least qty in mix) , kalonji/onion seeds, fennel seeds) , Onions - cut 1 medium, ginger/garlic paste - 1 tsp, coriander powder - 1 tsp, red chili powder - 1/2 tsp, turmeric powder - 1 tsp, Whole Red chilly - 1 optional, Cilantro - finely chopped, Sugar - 1 tsp, Apple cider vinegar - 2 tsp, Salt - as per taste.
Method: Heat oil in a non-stick pan, add all the whole achari spices, add onions and cook until they turn golden brown, add ginger and garlic paste and fry for another 2 min. Add coriander, chili, and turmeric powder, whole red chilly (optional) and stir, add sugar and apple cider vinegar and then add bhindi and cover and until everything is cooked. Add salt according as per taste
Garnish with cilantro and serve with hot rotis or as a side dish with rice. Enjoy the burst of sweet, spicy and sour flavors bursting in your mouth.
Till my next post, take care everyone!
