ingredients

1 lb okra, cut into 1/2" slices
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
¹⁄₂ teaspoon chili powder (or to taste)
¹⁄₂ teaspoon ajwain
¹⁄₂ teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon Urad Dal (White split)
¹⁄₂ teaspoon hing (asafoetida)
¹⁄₂ teaspoon turmeric powder
2 teaspoons oil

directions

Place the cut okra in a single layer on a microwave-safe plate and cook on'high' uncovered for 4 minutes.
If necessary cook the okra in two or three lots.
No salt is to be added now.
This will ensure that the okra is cooked, but without stickiness, and the bright green colour is maintained.
Next, heat the 2 tsp oil in a kadai, and fry the mustard, urad dal and ajwain, add the cooked bhindi/ okra pieces, add turmeric, hing, salt, chilli powders and fry for a couple of minutes till the masalas are well absorbed.
Your dry bhindi sabji is ready and looks green and appetising.
It is a great favourite with our family.
Note: If using bhindi from the cold storage, instead of microwaving the pieces, cook it for 10 minutes in the baking oven without salt, till it is dry, then follow the second step as above.

Hi Everybody! Thanks for stopping by in my little niche of the mighty Zaar world. Here is a quick link to the beauty recipes I've posted (highest rated so far):http://www.recipezaar.com/r/chef=6357/253/451/18/ls=h A few things I've done:- 1. Worked part time as a Telemarketer in Oman in the Crowne Plaza Hotel. 2. Worked as a Certified Professional Tarotist (Tarot Card Reader) and done accurate predicitions for many people from different parts of the world, most memorable of which is the reading I did for my college Law lecturer and it came true. 3. Written nearly 1000 poems several of which have been published in leading newspapers, ezines and magazines both in Oman and India. 4. Worked as a Moderator on www.allpoetry.com - my BEST and FAVOURITE site on the internet. My other interests include: Numerology, Vaastu Shastra, Feng Shui, Face Reading, Reiki and Astrology! I am really very keen on getting well-versed with metaphysical sciences such as Astrology, I-Ching, Feng Shui, Runes, Enneagram, Kabbalah and many more. I love researching on the mythology of ancient Goddesses and then condensing my research into poems. In the mood to gift me something? Here's what I'd love - A Nissan 350Z {my dream car}
