I am a big fan of okra..and when i saw this recipe in Betty Crockers Indian Home Cooking cookbook i immediately decided to give it a try and it came out delicious and this is the easiest way you will ever make your bhindi/okra ki sabzi..



Ingredients:-

Peanut or vegetable oil:- 1 Tbsp
Cumin seeds:- 1 Tsp
Fresh Okra, stem ends removed:- 1 pound
Dry roasted unsalted peanuts, coarsely chopped:- 1/4 cup
Chopped fresh cilantro:- 1/4 cup
Sugar:- 1 Tbsp
Salt:- 1 Tsp
Ground cumin:- 1 Tsp
Red pepper/cayyenne:- 1/2 Tsp
Turmeric powder:- 1/4 Tsp

Procedure:-

1)Heat oil in wok or 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds; 10 to 15 seconds

2)Add remaining ingredients; stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until okra is tender.

Enjoy:)
