Description
A simple lady's fingers curry, enjoyed with roti. It can also be turned into a Dakkhu.
Ingredients:
  • 700 g bhinda sliced into thirds (lady's fingers
  • washed and dried)
  • 1 tsp soy sauce (or lemon juice)
  • 2 1/2 medium onions (sliced short with medium thickness)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 3 tsp heaped coriander powder
  • 1 tsp red chilli powder
  • 2 serving spoons oil
Instructions
  1. 1
    In a large wok, add 2 serving spoons oil and heat on medium-low. Add bhinda and burn stickiness away for 10 mins (do not lid).
  2. 2
    After 10 mins, add salt. Let stickiness continue to burn away.
  3. 3
    Once stickiness has burnt away, lay onions over bhinda, add rest of spices, and mix. Keep heat on medium-low for 10 mins and turn often.
  4. 4
    Turn heat to low and lid. Once onions are soft, un-lid. Turn heat to medium-high and let bhinda become golden..
Note
Do not mix by stirring, turn gently so bhinda does not break apart. The soy sauce/lemon juice helps the stickiness evaporate quickly.
