Ingredients

4 cups ladies finger (bhindi) , chopped into 11/2"_spell! pieces
1 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
1 tsp mustard seeds ( rai / sarson)
1 tbsp urad dal (split black lentils)
2 whole dry kashmiri red chillies , broken
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1/4 tsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
1/4 cup low fat curds (dahi)
1 tbsp oil
1/4 tsp salt

To Be Ground Into A Paste
1 tbsp freshly grated coconut
1 tbsp broken cashewnuts (kaju)
3 tbsp beaten rice (poha) , roasted

Method

Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a non-stick pan and sauté the bhindi in oil until they are done. Remove and drain on absorbent paper.
Heat the remaining oil in the same pan, add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds and urad dal.
When they crackle, add the red chillies and fry again for a while.
Add the onions and sauté until they are golden brown. You may sprinkle a little water to avoid them from burning.
Add the tomatoes, chilli powder, turmeric powder and the ground paste and simmer for a while.
Meanwhile, add 1¼ cups of water to the curds, and whisk well. Add this to the subzi and bring to a boil.
Add the sautéed bhindi and salt and simmer for 5 more minutes.

i could not believe my eyes that bhindi can be made so tasty and innovatively. dahi bhindi is very tasty...different from normal bhindi that we make. i make this subzi for everyone in the house not just for my father in law (has high bp). the paste uses poha instead of only coconut so healthy na!
