Spicy Fried Okra Recipe (Bhendi Bhaji)

Spicy Fried Okra Recipe (Bhendi Bhaji)
Ingredients :
500 g 2 tablespoons 1/2 teaspoon 1 1/2 teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon	Okra Ghee or oil Panch phora Medium onion, finely chopped Ground turmeric Chili powder, optional Salt or to taste Garam masala
Method : Wash the okra, cut off stalk ends and slice into bite-size pieces. Heat ghee and fry the panch phora for a minute. Then add onion and fry, stirring until it starts to turn golden. Add turmeric, chili if use, salt and garam masala. Add okra, stir well, cover and cook, stirring occasionally until okra is tender. Serve as a vegetable accompaniment to rice or chapatis. Note : It is important to buy tender okra, for the mature beans are tough and stringy. Test by bending the tip of the bean. If tender, it will snap but if old, it will merely bend and you will not be able to break it easily.
