  • 1 inch ginger
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp coriander powder
  • 1 tbsp kashmiri red chilli powder
  • 1 tbsp kitchen king masala
  • 1 tsp dry mango powder

For masala bhindi fry

  • 500 grm bhindi
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • Pinch of hing
  • Masala
  • Salt to taste
  • Garnish with coriander leaves

Instructions

  • Wash and dry the bhindi properly. Then cut off the upper and lower parts of the bhindi. Hold the knife at a slant and cut the bhindi into pieces (refer to the video).
  • Now, in a pan, add 3 tbsp of peanuts and roast them on a low flame. Remove their outer skin.
  • Then, in a mixer jar, add 3 tbsp of roasted peanuts, 3 tbsp of white sesame seeds, 3 tbsp of dry coconut, some curry leaves, 2 chopped green chillies, 1-inch piece of ginger, 4 garlic cloves, 1 tsp of cumin seeds, 1 tsp of fennel seeds, ½ tsp of turmeric powder, salt to taste, 2 tbsp of coriander powder, 1 tbsp of Kashmiri red chilli powder, 1 tbsp of kitchen king masala, 1 tsp of dry mango powder, and 1 tbsp of jaggery. Pulse grind the mixture to make a coarse masala. Keep it aside.
  • Then, in a pan, add some oil and heat it. Fry the bhindi pieces in batches on a medium-high flame until they become crispy. Transfer them to a bowl and repeat the process for the remaining bhindi.
  • Now, in a kadai, add 4 tbsp of oil. Add 1 tsp of cumin seeds and a pinch of hing. Sauté it.
  • Add the prepared masala and sauté until oil releases from the sides.
  • Then add the fried bhindi and mix well with the masala.
  • Cook the sabzi for 2 minutes so the flavors are absorbed. Do not cover the sabzi.
  • Garnish with coriander leaves and serve masala bhindi fry with roti or poori.

Notes

  • Cut bhindi into medium-thick pieces.
  • Roast peanuts on low flame until the outer skin comes off.
  • The proportion of peanuts, sesame seeds, and desiccated coconut should be equal.
  • Coarsely grind the masala using the pulse setting.
  • Fry bhindi on medium-high flame; do not fry it on low flame.
  • Fry bhindi in batches.
  • Frying the bhindi removes moisture, helping the sabzi stay fresh for a longer time.
  • Do not cover the sabzi, as we want the bhindi to remain crispy.
  • Masala bhindi fry taste great when it prepared slightly spicy, sweet and sour.
