lahsuni bhindi or garlic bhindi

as far as bhindi or okra is concerned, i am always open to new recipes. this lahsuni bhindi or garlic bhindi is an example of such a recipe. flavored with garlic, chilies and onions…. a spicy bhindi recipe that goes extremely well with rotis or phulkas. i read the recipe in a cook book and adapted it to suit our taste preferences. the original recipe has used 10 green chilies for 200 gms of bhindi which i think is a way too hot and spicy for us to handle. so i added just 1 green chili and this did make the bhindi a bit spiced up. this lahsuni bhindi recipe is easy to make and won't take much of your time. they will also make a good indian tiffin box lunch along with some soft chapatis or whole wheat bread. you can also serve lahsuni bhindi as a side veggie dish with dal-rice or curry-rice combination. this bhindi recipe has been adapted from cookbook 'vegetables and curries for all seasons' by kanchan kabra (India | US). if you are looking for more bhindi recipes then do check bhindi masala, bhindi fry, bhindi do pyaza, bharwan bhindi and bhindi bhaji. lahsuni bhindi or garlic bhindi Author: dassana Recipe type: side Cuisine: north indian Serves: 2-3 200 gms bhindi/okra 1 large onion, thinly sliced 1 tbsp chopped or sliced garlic 1 green chili, chopped or slit ½ tsp cumin seeds ¼ or ½ tsp red chili powder ½ tsp turmeric powder ½ tsp coriander powder ½ tsp dry mango powder/amchur ¼ tsp garam masala powder a pinch of asafoetida 2 tbsp oil salt as required some chopped coriander or mint for garnishing rinse, wipe and dry the bhindi (okra). slice each bhindi vertically, into two or four parts. heat oil in a pan or kadai. crackle the cumin first. add the garlic and asafoetida. fry for 15-20 seconds. then add the sliced onions and saute till they become translucent. add turmeric powder, green chilies and stir. add the bhindi/okra. stir in salt. cover the pan and let the bhindi cook for 5 minutes. remove the lid and add the red chili powder, garam masala, coriander powder, dry mango powder. stir well. cook without any lid till the oil starts separating and the bhindi has cooked. garnish lahsuni bhindi with some coriander or mint leaves and serve lahsuni bhindi with roti or phulkas. 3.2.2089 via Veg Recipes of India http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/VegRecipesOfIndia/~3/zmsQkwmFROc/
