Ingredients

2

250 grams Lady finger

2 tbsp Gram Flour

quarter teaspoon Carom seeds

1 teaspoon Fennel seeds

2 Teaspoons Kashmiri red chilli powder

half teaspoon Spicy red chilli powder

1 teaspoon Dry mango powder

quarter teaspoon Black salt

quarter teaspoon Cumin powder

1 tablespoon Coriander powder

quarter teaspoon Turmeric powder

quarter teaspoon Garam masala

Salt as per taste

4 tbsp Oil

quarter teaspoon Cumin seeds

quarter teaspoon Carom seeds

quarter teaspoon Asafoetida

1 pinch Turmeric Powder

1 pinch Red chilli powder

Coriander as per choice

1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Tips

Ensure the ladyfingers are completely dry before stuffing to avoid sogginess.

Adjust the spices according to your taste preference.

Serve Bharwan Bhindi with roti or rice for a complete meal.

You can add a little water while cooking if you prefer a softer texture.

Directions

Wash the ladyfingers thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel.

Allow them to air-dry for 4-5 minutes under a fan.

Trim the tops and bottoms of the ladyfingers and make a slit in the center for stuffing.

Heat a small pan on high, then reduce the flame to low.

Add the gram flour and roast it for 3-4 minutes, stirring continuously until it turns golden and aromatic.

Transfer the roasted gram flour to a bowl.

Add crushed carom seeds, fennel seeds, all the powdered spices, salt, and mustard oil to the bowl.

Mix well to form a crumbly stuffing mixture that binds slightly when pressed.

Fill the slit bhindis with the prepared stuffing, ensuring they're evenly filled.

Apply the leftover stuffing on the outside of the bhindis for extra flavor.

Heat a kadhai (deep pan) on high and add mustard oil.

Once the oil starts smoking, reduce the flame and let it cool slightly.

Add cumin seeds, carom seeds, and asafoetida to the oil.

Add the stuffed bhindi to the pan, stirring well.

Sprinkle turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, and salt. Stir again to coat the bhindi evenly.

Cover the pan and cook on low flame, stirring every 2-3 minutes to ensure even cooking.

Once the bhindi is cooked, uncover the pan and cook on high flame for 2-3 minutes to evaporate any excess moisture.

Finish by adding fresh coriander and lemon juice. Stir well and serve hot.

Notes

Those with allergies to mustard oil or spices should avoid this dish. Also, people with kidney issues may want to limit their intake due to the high potassium content.
