Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams Bhindi / Okra (Cut lengthwise)
  • 7- 10 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 teaspoon Mustard Seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
  • 1/4th teaspoon Hing (asafoetida)
  • 4 Kokam Petals
  • 1 teaspoon Red Chilli Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Kitchen King Masala OR Garam Masala Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sugar
  • Salt to taste
  • 1-2 tablespoons Roasted Peanut Powder (Shengdana Kut)
  • 2 tablespoons Coriander Leaves, to garnish
  • 2 tablespoons Oil

Method
 

  1. Wash and pat dry bhindi. Cut it lenghtwise.
  2. Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
  3. Add cumin seeds, let them sizzle for 15-20 seconds. Add sliced garlic cloves.
  4. Saute garlic for 30-40 seconds till they are lightly golden in colour.
  5. Add hing and turmeric powder. Mix well.
  6. Add the cut bhindi (okra) and mix bhindi well with the tempering.
  7. Add kokam petals (user 3 tsp tamarind pulp if you do not have kokam.
  8. Cook the bhindi uncovered till its almost soft. After 10-15 minutes of cooking bhindi till it's soft add the spices.
  9. Add red chilli powder, coriander powder, kitchen king masala. Instead of kitchen king you may also use garam masala powder.
  10. Add sugar and salt to taste. Sugar helps balance the taste of the sabji.
  11. Mix everything well so that the masalas coat the bhindi evenly.
  12. At this moment, after adding the spices, cover the pan just for 2-3 minutes so that the spices are nicely incorporated with the bhindi (okra).
  13. Soft and non-sticky lahsuni bhindi ki sabji is almost done. Lastly, add roasted peanut powder which adds a nice nutty taste and crunch to this garlicky bhindi sabzi. Mix well.
  14. Transfer lahsuni bhindi ki sabji into a serving bowl. Garnish with coriander leaves.
  15. Serve with soft phulkas, rotis or even as a side dish with dal rice, sambar rice or khichdi.n
