Bhindi (Lady fingers) recipe in yoghurt gravy

I love lady fingers in any form and every form. It is easy to cook a variety of dishes, especially when it’s lady finger. I am putting forward a recipe, locally prepared by people in Jodhpur, Rajasthan and savored with chapattis.

Ingredients:

Lady fingers- 250 grams
Yoghurt- 100 grams
Ghee/Clarified butter- 2 teaspoons
Spices as per taste-
Red Chili powder- especially Rajasthan red chili- 1 teaspoon
Turmeric powder- ½ teaspoon
Coriander powder- 1 teaspoon
Salt- 1 ½ teaspoons

Remove the top and tail parts of lady fingers and cut in the middle. Make sure to make the cut on one side without touching the other side. Keep them aside. Take yoghurt in a bowl and mix spices like red chili, coriander powder, turmeric powder and salt. Blend it well so that no lumps are left.

Take a frying pan. Pour ghee or clarified butter. Once it heats up, put lady fingers one by one. Saute for some time. When you see them changing color, add yoghurt mixture slowly. Mix the two well and then, put a lid on the pan for some time. You would see the ghee floating without a tinge of yoghurt. There is different aroma emerging from the dish once it’s fully cooked. Relish with chapattis.
