Whats Cooking?

I'd tried this receipe long time back, and wrote about it here as well. But sans pictures. So the next time I made it, I clicked some pics and here they are, along with the recipe again! This time, however, I have not used onions. (Honestly, I prefer this without onions)

Ingredients:
400 gm Okra (bhindi)

For the filling:
1 teaspoon jeera powder
1 teaspoon amchoor powder
1 teaspoon dhania powder (coriander powder)
1/2 teaspoon haldi (turmeric powder)
1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
1 teaspoon fennel powder (saunf powder)
Salt, to taste
1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter)

For garnishing:
Ginger pieces, peeled, crushed, and soaked in water
Fresh coriander, finely chopped.

Method:

1. Wash and cut the ends of okra.
2. Slit it along it length and remove all the seeds. Keep aside.

3. Heat ghee (would you look at that colour?! WOW!)




4. Add all the ingredients mentioned above for filling. Mix well.



5. Fill the slit okras with the above filling.
6. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of ghee in a kadhaai, or deep frying pan.
7. Place the okras gently and fry them for 5-6 minutes. Cover with a lid.
8. Every 2-3 minutes, remove the lid and stir gently.



9. Remove from fire after 7-8 minutes (the okra should be crisp), and squeeze the ginger juice all over the okra.
10. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander, and its ready to serve! Mmmmmm smells so rich and heavenly!!

Serving suggestion - Serve with hot rotis or parathas.

What?! Over already?!!!!! :D
