Kadai Bhindi Recipe

Kadai Bhindi is a perfect side dish for phulkas or other Indian flat breads, rice. Crushed coriander seeds is the best thing I love in this dish.

Ingredients

  • 25 Ladies finger Bhindi medium size
  • 2 Onion chopped
  • 2 Tomato chopped
  • 1 Capsicum cube
  • 2 teaspoon Ginger garlic paste
  • ¼ teaspoon Turmeric
  • 2 teaspoon Coriander seeds powder
  • 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon Garam masala powder
  • 2 Green chilies
  • 10 Cashewnut optional
  • 2 tablespoon Oil
  • ¼ cup Coriander leaves chopped
  • Salt

To Temper

  • 1 Cinnamon
  • 1 Clove
  • 1 Cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
  • 1 tablespoon Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Coriander seeds crushed coarsely

Instructions

  • Wash, clean the ladies fingers and pat dry completely.
  • Cut them into bite size pieces. Deep fry them in oil, if desired or fry them with 2 tablespoon of oil in a kadai, without changing the green of the vegetable. Make sure the stickiness is gone.
  • Heat a broad pan with oil, add the tempering items followed by the crushed coriander seeds.
  • Immediately add chopped onions, slit green chilli and fry till just onion turn transparent.
  • Add ginger garlic paste and fry till raw smell goes off.
  • After that, add the chopped tomatoes, with little salt to make it get soft faster.
  • Then add turmeric, garam masala, red chili powder and coriander powder. Mix well and fry for a minute.
  • Add then add cashewnut paste if adding and fry for a min till oil separates.
  • Now, in goes the capsicum, deep fried ladies fingers and salt if needed.
  • Mix well and cook covered for 2 minutes.
  • If you want it semi gravy, you can add ½ cup of water and cook.
  • Stir well and cook covered again for another 2 mins. Garnish with coriander leaves lastly.

Notes

  • You can omit cashew paste if you want it simple and dry.
  • If you need more of gravy kind then add little water and boil for few mins.
  • Add Kasoori methi if you like. I do not like the flavor overpowering and want coriander flavor more, so skip adding it.
  • I updated the step by step pictures later and skipped green chillies and coriander leaves, so will not be seen in steps.
