Vegan Recipe
Bharwa Achari Bhindi
Tender okra stuffed with a tangy achari masala and cooked until lightly crisp.
Method
Trim the okra and make a lengthwise slit without cutting each pod into two pieces.
Mix the gram flour, salt and 12.5 g of Bharwa Achari Masala. Add 1 tbsp oil and enough lemon juice to make a crumbly filling.
Fill a small amount of the mixture into each okra pod.
Heat the remaining oil in a wide pan. Arrange the stuffed okra in one layer, cover and cook on low heat for eight minutes.
Uncover, turn gently and cook for another twelve to fifteen minutes until tender and lightly crisp.
Finish with fresh coriander and serve with roti or dal-rice.
