ReplyDeleteLooks like the restuarant Bhindi Masala - perfect with Phulkas!
ReplyDeleteThe secret lies in frying the onion and tomatoes well, and you should be patient till oil leaves the sides. By this time, it will get a good colour and when the masala powders are added,the gravy will become yummy.

ReplyDeleteHi Shanthi..Thank You for this receipe..I tried doing it and came out well...Its my long time dream to do a Bhindi Masala similar to the Hotel one :). I have few doubts..you have mentioned that the seceret lies in frying the onions & tomatoes well,can you tell the app time to fry the tomatoes?... and I din't get the exact colour..I added a lit turmeric..is that the reason or any other seceret for this brown colour?
ReplyDeleteThe frying time dpends on one's stove condition and heat. Just fry till the oil leaves the sides. The raw smell will diffuse when fried till oil leaves the sides. The colour changes when turmeriuc powder is added. But you can also add a pinch of it.
