Hello everyone…..It has been a busy busy time for me and my husband….We have shifted to Mumbai after my 3 years of stay in the beautiful city of Edinburgh, Scotland….I will post some of the photos of this beautiful Gothic city.
Life has been different here in Mumbai. Earlier, going to superstores and buying groceries was one of the important schedules during the weekends. Now, however with the vegetable vendors (and a Reliance Fresh shop) at a walking distance, things are more easier.
Well one of the first vegetable dishes that I made here is Bhindi Ki Sabji. This is more like a Ghar Ka Khaana (recipes that are made once in a week or more at home).
Bhindi Ki Sabji
Ingredients
- 100 gms bhindi wash and cut lengthwise
- 1 tomato chopped finely
- 1 onion chopped finely
- 4-5 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 1 small ginger piece, crushed
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- some cumin seeds
- fresh coriander leaves chopped for garnishing
Method
- In a hot pan, add some oil and put some cumin seeds.
- After they crackle, add the chopped onion. When the onion turns pink, add the crushed garlic and ginger pieces. Saute. Add the chilli powder, coriander powder, and turmeric powder.
- Put the tomato pieces and saute for a while.
- Add some salt. (If you prefer some sweetness in the dish, add some jaggery or sugar)
- Cook till the Bhindi is tender and coated with the masala (gravy). You can add some water to make the gravy. I did not add water this time.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with chapatis, rotis, or rice.
