Crispy (no onion) Bhindi

Wanted a quick recipe for bhindi and something different from the usual varieties that I cook (besan wali bhindi, bharwa bhindi and bhindi pyaz ki sabzi); so as always, called up mom. And as always, she had something up her sleeve - a no nonsense, quick and simple recipe.

So here's her, jhatpat crispy bhindi recipe...

Bhindi 500 gms.

Oil 2 tbsp

Salt to taste (I used 1 and 1/4 tsp)

Garam Masala (mom made) 1 tsp

Pisa Anaar Dana / Amch1ur 1 tsp

PROCEDURE:

1. Wash bhindi and let it air dry completely.

2. Once dry, cut it lengthwise into four.

3. Add oil in a wok and let it heat.

4. Add all the spices except garam masala and anar dana.

5. Add bhindi to the wok.

6. Cook on high flame with continuous stirring for about 20 minutes or till almost cooked.

7. Add garam masala and anar dana and cook for another minute.

P.S. Onion is Added Only as Garnish
