Servings3 cup
Ingredients
- 10 nos vendakkai ladies finger
- 1 cup thick curd
- 2 teaspoon oil
- salt to taste
To Temper:
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 small red chillies
- a small sprig curry leaves
Instructions
- Rinse bhindi well to remove the dirt on the outer skin if any. Wipe off with a tissue paper to remove moisture. Trim both the edges.
- Slice them thin as thin as possible. I used a knife, if you have a slicer you can use it too.
- Saute with little oil, keep cooking in low flame. Saute till it becomes slightly crisp, browned here and there, it will be nonsticky. It will take at least 10-15mins in low flame, keep turning over for even roasting. Then switch off.
- Beat curd with a whisk and Set aside.
- Heat oil in a tadka pan - add the items listed under 'to temper' let it splutter.Add salt to curd then add roasted bhindi.
- Add the tadka ingredients, give a quick mix and serve.
- Serve Bhindi Raita chilled!
Notes
Whisk the curd well.
Wipe it off with tissue paper well before slicing, this is one the keys to reduce slimminess.
Slow cook for even roasting and to avoid burning.I used my cast iron skillet.
I reserved a little of the tempering for garnish which actually was good while eating as the crunch was there.
You can even deep fry bhindi.
