Method
So, to make delicious Masala bhindi, chop the okra/bhindi into long pieces after washing and dry mopping it well..Now put it in a bowl, add chopped onions and all the spices like the chilli powder, turmeric powder,coriander powder and salt according to the ratio..mix well using hands or a spoon..The only reason to premix the spices is for an easy cooking..
Here I have put all the spices all over the bhindi/okra to premix it for an easy cooking..Now put a pan on the gas…heat it on high flame..now add oil..let it be hot but not too hot..now add the mustard seeds..let it pop well..now put all the mixture of okra and spices..mix well using a spatula..then add the gram flour according to the quantity mentioned..mix well..cook in high flame for atleast 4 to 5 minutes to roast the spices well by flipping it time to time..

Now after cooking 4 minutes in high flame lower the flame and close the lid until the okra becomes really soft to touch..but don’t forget to flip in between to avoid overlooking it..okra squeezes in texture when it gets cooked really well..so cook in low flame for atheast 6 to 7 minutes and if it seems necessary to cook more..cook for 3 to 4 minute more..The onions in between each bite gives a very delicious taste and you can see how delicious it looks..So if you like okra and search for different ways to cook it then don’t forget to try on this yum.
