Stuffed okra | Stuffed ladies finger

Okra/Bhindi/Ladies finger goes well with rice and chapathis. Few years back, a gujarathi friend called us for dinner and served pulkhas with this hot stuffed okras. It taste wonderful when it is hot. With chapathi it would be a dry subzi, combined with dal it is a wholesome meal. I have done this with okra, you could try with brinjal or bitter guard.


Ingredients:
  • Okra - 10
  • Oil - 2 tbsp
  • Salt - to taste
  For stuffing:

  • Gram flour/ besan flour - 3 tbsp
  • Onions - 2 tbsp, finely chopped
  • Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tsp
  • Kasturi methi or cilantro - 1 tbsp, chopped
  • Amchur powder - 1/2 tsp
  • Garam masala - 1/4 tsp
  • Red chilly powder - 1 tsp
  • Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
  • Salt - to taste


Method:

Rinse the okra and dry in a paper towel. Slit the okra lengthwise, without breaking the edge. Combine all the ingredients given under 'for stuffing' in a bowl.
Mix well, it would be crumbly. Stuff his powder in the slitted okra. Heat a wide pan with oil and arrange the okras giving space to turn.
Cover with lid. Let it cook in a low-medium flame. Turn the other side and allow it to turn crispier. 
Serve hot with rotis.
