Diet Okra- Bhindi

This is my favorite veggie, and today I am going to share with u healthy okra recipe. I am again on diet so u will see diet recipes now & then in the next few weeks. Here is its recipe :)

Serves: 2-3

Ingredients:

Bhindi (Lady Finger)                        ¼ kg

Olive Oil                                           4 tsp (Its actually 2 tsp/serving/day for ppl on diet)

Onions                                              1 big (chopped finely)

Tomato                                              2 (chopped)

Green Chili                                        2 (chopped)

Red Chili powder                              1/2 tsp.           

Turmeric Powder                              ¼ tsp.

Black Pepper                                     1/4 tsp.

Ginger Garlic Paste                           1 tsp.

Salt                                                   ½ tsp.

Cumin Powder (Zeera)                     1 tsp.

Coriander Powder                            1 tsp.

Coriander Leaves (dhanyia)              Few

Procedure:

Wash the Okra, and let it dry in a strainer. Slice of tops of Okra & ends (if u want, I personally luv the ends lol) & discard them. Chop them into 3/4". 

Boil 1/4 cup water, and add the chopped onions. Let them boil until they are translucent.

Next add oil in a pan, heat it. Add boiled onions, followed by garlic and ginger paste & fry them for 2-3 minutes. They might not change color due to very less amount of oil used. Next add green chilies and the chopped tomatoes, followed by all other spices.. 

Cover & cook until the tomatoes are softened. Add 1/2 cup water too. 

Add lady finger/bhindi, mix and keep the lid covered for 10-15 min until it is cooked. Add a little water too if there is none. 

Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve with saladddd cox u are on diet. :)
