Bhindi / ladiesfinger is Chotu’ favourite
I used to make the Stuffed Bhindi Masala quite often earlier. But when I am pressed for time on busy mornings I make this Besan Bhindi Fry. Ever since I started making this Besanwali Bhindi Chotu is driving me crazy, asking for this sabji atleast twice a week 
This is a simple yet lip-smacking sabzi that goes well with roti or rice.Now to the recipe….
[Preparation Time-15 mins : Cooking Time- 25 mins]
Ingredients:
- Bhindi/Ladiesfinger – 1/4 kg
- Onion – 2
- Chilli powder – 1 tsp
- Coriander powder – 2 tsp
- Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
- Salt – as required
- Besan/Chickpea Flour – 2 tbsp
- Curd – 1 tbsp
- Oil – 2 tbsp
- Mustard – 1 tsp
- Jeera – 1/2 tsp
- Curry Leaves – a sprig
Method:
- Wash and pat dry the bhindi. Trim the edges and chop into small pieces. Chop the onion finely and keep it ready. Heat a pan with oil and temper with mustard, jeera and curry leaves. Add finely chopped onions and saute until transparent.
- Add chopped bhindi followed by salt, chilli powder, coriander powder and turmeric powder. Mix well so that all the ingredients blend well.
- Add curd and mix well. This will help to get rid of the stickiness of bhindi and cook faster. Cook covered for 8-10 minutes or until bhindi gets soft.
- Finally add besan/chickpea flour and saute in medium flame for 3-4 mins. Keep mixing so that it gets fried evenly. Switch off the flame.
Besanwali Bhindi / Besan Bhindi Fry is ready.
Serve hot with roti or rice.
Tips:
- Wipe the bhindi before chopping. U can chop bhindi into 1 inch pieces as well.
- Curd helps in cooking the bhindi faster and also gives a unique taste. So do not skip it.
