Gota Bhendi Bhaja

Ingredients -

Okra/Ladies Finger/ Bhendi - 250 gm
Oil - 2 and 1/2 tablespoon
Mustard seeds - 1 tablespoon
Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
Garlic - 5/6 cloves
Green Chilli - 2
Salt to taste
Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon

Method -

Wash the okras and drain properly. Cut the head and tail of the Okras. Then make a cut lengthwise on the middle of each okra (Do not cut towards the end, cut only in the middle, leave the ends joined). Boil the okras by adding salt and turmeric powder.

Grind mustard seeds, cumin seeds, garlic and red chilli to make a paste. Fry this paste in 1/2 tablespoon oil for 2 minutes.

Take the boiled okras in a plate. Open the okras from the cut mark and put the mustard paste inside each okra. Heat oil in a pan. Put the stuffed okras in oil and allow it to roast on both sides by turning in between. Remove when the okras get brown (Don't get over brown). Serve hot with meal.
