This simple and easy one is my way of doing it. You can omit Green chillies if desired. Instead increase the amount of Red Chilli powder. Either ways it tastes great. Not only that, you can increase the heat to a high after done and cook further by continuously stirring it if you wish to have a crispier Bhindi. But you have to be careful and keep a constant vigil on it. Otherwise it might get burnt. Stirring is important and in this way, you will get a bit more crispier Bhindi. Therefore with this one single recipe, you get two different varieties of Okra Fry. One a normal one, juicy and tender Okra Fry and the other a bit on the crispier side Okra Fry.

Steps

25-30 minutes

1

This is a simple recipe with equally simple pantry ingredients. Heat Oil and add Curry Leaves at first. Next add slit Green chillies and the rest of the spices excluding Salt. It should be added later on. Okra is sticky by nature. If Salt is added to it in the beginning, it will leave water due to which Okra gets sticky and becomes a bit difficult to cook. So never add Salt to it. Add it just a few minutes before taking it off the heat.
2

Keep stirring in between at regular intervals and cover it well. Keep the heat on a low only. It gets done within 20 minutes. And just before you decide to take it off the heat, add salt according to taste and garnish with freshly chopped Coriander Leaves. Enjoy your warm family mealtimes with this super comfort food. You will definitely relish its lovely aromatic flavours. Curry Leaves, Green chillies and Ginger garlic paste lend it a unique aroma and flavour.
3

Serve hot alongside homemade fluffy Rotis or Chapatis or Parathas or even Pooris. It tastes awesome with all. It also tastes equally delicious with simple boiled Rice. Yum!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
