The name to me does not sound very appetizing, that will quickly change when you taste this dish. This is a dish that my mother learnt from my dad's mom and has come to be my favorite. Make this recipe couple hours ahead of time, chill and enjoy as a vegetable or raita.
Tastes better with chappati than rice, yummiest eaten alone ;)
Dahi Bhendi
1 lb Bhendi cut into BIG pieces (Bhindi is Okra and can be found in frozen section - chopped)
5-6 slit green chillies
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
Salt to taste
1 tsp sugar
2 cups of dahi, beaten
1 tbsp oil
1/4 tsp mustard seeds
2 - 3 ts[ groundnut powder, optional
Clean and cut the Bhendi in big pieces. You want them to remain intact.
Heat oil, add and mustard seeds , wait till they finish spluttering.
Add green chillies and cilantro and let them brown.
Now add the bhendi and cook on medium flame (not to cover the vessel) until the bhendi is brown.
remove the chillies. Add salt, sugar and turn off the heat.
Move the bhendi to a serving bowl, mix groundnut powder and dahi. Refridgerate....
