Instant Fried Bhindi

This is a very healthy dish. Preparation time is around 5-6 minutes.


Ingredients:
* Bhindi 250 gms
* Red chilli powder 1/2 tbsp
* Dhaniya powder 1 tbsp
* Zeera powder 1/2 tbsp
* Turmeric powder 1/2 tbsp
* Salt
* Oil 2 tbsp

Procedure:
Wash bhindi and wipe them with kitchen towel to remove the access water.
Slit them length wise.
In a microwaveable bowl, mix oil and all the masala into a paste.
Add the bhindi and mix them well so that the masala is coated properly.
Microwave it for 5 minutes while stirring carefully every 1 minute.
Serve with roti/paratha.

  2. hi prachi

    you can roast a spoon of dhaniya on a tawa and then crush them with the belan

    for dhaniya powder substitute, you can do the same, roast a spoon of whole dhaniya and then blend it into a powder.
