Ingredients:

• 250 grams fresh okra (bhindi)
• 2 tablespoons Roopak's Bharwan Bhindi Masala
• 2 tablespoons oil (preferably mustard oil for authentic flavor)
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• Salt to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

• Prepare the Okra:
  • Wash the okra under running water and pat them dry using a kitchen towel.
  • Trim the ends of the okra and make a vertical slit along one side of each okra, ensuring not to cut it into two pieces completely. This will create a pocket to stuff the masala.
• Prepare the Stuffing:
  • In a bowl, mix Roopak's Bharwan Bhindi Masala, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, and salt to taste.
  • Make sure the spices are well combined to create a uniform stuffing mixture.
• Stuff the Okra:
  • Take each okra and stuff the spice mixture generously into the slit, ensuring that the masala fills the entire pocket of the okra.
  • Repeat this process for all the okra.
• Cooking:
  • Heat oil in a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat.
  • Once the oil is hot, gently place the stuffed okra in the pan in a single layer.
  • Cook the okra for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly crispy. Ensure that the okra is cooked through and the masala is well roasted.
  • If needed, cover the pan with a lid intermittently to help the okra cook faster.
  • Once cooked, turn off the heat.
• Serve:
  • Transfer the cooked stuffed okra to a serving dish.
  • Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves for added freshness and color (optional).
  • Serve hot with roti, naan, or rice along with your favorite accompaniments like yogurt, pickle, or salad.
