How to Make Bhindi Bhaji Fried Stuffed Okra
- Wash and thoroughly dry 1 pound of okra. Cut lengthwise into halves and carefully scoop out the seeds.
- In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup finely chopped green chilies (adjust to taste), 1 teaspoon ginger paste, 1 teaspoon garlic paste, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon cumin powder, 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder, 1/4 teaspoon garam masala, and salt to taste.
- Stuff the okra halves generously with the spice mixture.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat.
- Carefully place the stuffed okra halves into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry for about 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Garnish with extra cilantro and serve hot with your favorite accompaniments such as dal, rice, roti, raita and chutney.
