Okra ladies fingers Curry in a jiffy…..Bhinda nu shak

Okra or ladies fingers curry can be made in several different ways. Lots of people get put off by cooking okra as it is quite a sticky vegetable when you cut it. Here is my recipe for stuffed okra. Okra curry is usually made very dry as any addition of water or even tomatoes could make it very sticky. I usually served with chapatis and rice and kadhi.  Here is my recipe for stuffed okra.  This recipe is very similar to my previous recipe but I call it my “cheat recipe” and it’s really a great one if you are in a rush.

As I mentioned before, okra are quite sticky when cut so they have to be prepared in a particular way. Always, soak and wash the okra, then dry each okra using a kitchen paper or a clean dish cloth.

Ingredients for 2 servings:

Method:

3.  Heat 2 tablespoons of oil and add in the dry mustard seeds.  Once they stop popping, add the sliced okras to the oil.   Put the lid on and cook the okras on a very low heat for one minute.   Do not add any water to this curry or it will get very sticky.
