Ingredients
- 500 gram Bhindi/Okra
- 4 medium onions
- red chilli powder to taste
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tbsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tbsp dry mango powder (or as per taste)

Instructions
- Wash and let okra turn dry completely.
- Cut them into pieces in a size as desired.
- Out of 4 onions, cut 2 onions finely and other 2 into squares, as visible in picture.
- Take a pan and add oil. Let oil smoke first.
- Firstly add the onions which are cut into squares.
- Cook them till they turn translucent. Make sure not to loose their crunch.
- Once done, take these squared onions out of pan and keep aside.
- Now add finely chopped onion in the pan.
- Let this onion turn brown.
- Add okra, turmeric powder, red chilli powder and coriander powder.
- Give them a good mix and saute for 3-4 minutes on high heat.
- Put a lid on the pan and let okra cook on low heat until turns tender enough to eat. Do give a stir at short intervals.
- When okra turns as soft as you desire which may take 14-15 minutes, add fried squared onions, garam masala and dry mango powder.
- Give it a good mix and bhindi do pyaza is ready.
Notes
- Never cook the wet okra. It will give more slime.
- In place of mustard oil, you can take any oil you use in your daily cooking. But okra made in mustard oil tastes best.
- Dry mango powder can be replaced with lemon juice.
- Do not overcook okra otherwise it will turn mushy.
