Yet another way of making Okra or Ladyfinger or bhindi. Recipe is from Nishamadhulika Ji's blog, with lil bit changes from me. 

Ingredients 

250 gm medium sized Ladyfinger

1 tbsp Gram flour 

2 tbsp oil

2 tsp Saunf Dhaniya powder

1/2 tsp Red Chilli powder 

1/2 tsp Turmeric powder 

1/2 tsp  Amchoor powder

Pinch of garam masala

Pinch of heeng

1/2 tsp jeera 

Salt according to taste 

Method

Wash & dry the ladyfingers.

Cut the stem of the ladyfingers & part it lengthwise so that it remain joined from the one side.

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a small pan & tamper cumin seeds & add heeng.

Add gram flour & roast it well.

Put all the spices & fry the masala for 1 minute & turn off the flame. 

Stuff this masala equally into the ladyfingers. 

Heat remaining 1 tbsp oil in the pan & put the stuffed lady fingers into it. 

Stir them with light hands 2-3 times & cover it for 5 minutes on a medium flame. Open the lid & flip the ladyfingers. Cook it for an another 2-3 minutes with covered lid on a low flame. 

Open the lid, flip & cook it for 2-3 minutes on high flame.

Serve it with hot paranthas, chapatis and naan.

Tips

* Ladyfingers should be fresh.

* I used very less oil so it took few minutes extra to cook.

* Keep eyes on it as it can burn easily.
