Ingredients
- 10.5 ounces okra aka Bhindi
- 2 tablespoon neutral cooking oil for frying, generic cooking oil
- 1/2 lime
Spice Stuffing
- 2 tablespoon coriander powder dhaniya powder
- 2 teaspoon cumin powder aka Jeera powder
- 1 teaspoon dry mango powder aka amchur
- 1 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder mild
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder ground, aka Haldi powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
Instructions
- Wash the bhindi with water and let it air dry. You can spread the bhindi on a kitchen towel to let it air dry. If you are in a hurry, wipe the bhindi with a paper towel to dry them completely.
- Cut the tops, and slit each bhindi lengthwise. We still want the bhindi to be joined at one end.
- In a bowl, mix all the stuffing spices.
- Take one bhindi at a time and stuff it with the spice mix. Repeat with all the slit bhindi. Be generous when filling the bhindi, it is okay with some masala falls out.
Fry in a pan on stovetop
- Heat oil in a pan on medium heat. Use a pan large enough to fit the bhindi in a single layer.
- Place the stuffed bhindi in the pan. Let it heat for couple of minutes, then lower the heat. Cover the pan. Then open and flip the bhindi every 2-3 minutes until they are cooked. This will take about 12-15 minutes.
Cook in air fryer
- Place the stuffed okra in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 360F for 12 mins. Remove the basket at about 8 minutes to flip the okra.
Finishing
- Bharwa bhindi is ready to be served. We enjoy it with a generous squeeze of lime juice on top. Serve with hot roti or paratha, or just enjoy it as an appetizer.
Notes
- Make sure the okra is completely dry before using, else it can get slimy.
- Use a large pan for making stuffed bhindi, so you can arrange the bhindi in a single layer.
- Use medium-low heat while making stuffed bhindi, so that it cooks evenly on all sides.
