Hello all! I had
told in my besan ladoo post that I had bought a
microwave convection oven some time back and had experimented with it. My eyes caught this Bhindi masala dish and I gave it a try. I am lousy when it comes to cooking
bhindi on stove top and it never comes out good. But in oven it was the best
and hubby insists I make bhindi in oven only.
Trust me you would love it.
Ingredients:
½ kg Bhindi/okra
½ tsp red chilli powder
1/2tsp haldi powder
1/2tsp haldi powder
2green chillies chopped
1 tsp coriander powder
½ tsp amchoor/dry
mango powder
Salt to taste
¼ tsp jeera/cumin seeds
3 tbsp oil
Method:
Wash an wipe bhindi dry.
Cut the tip head and tail of each bhindi. Chop bhindi into medium size or as desired.
In a microwave safe glass bowl, put 1tbsp oil, add jeera
and chopped green chillies. Microwave at 100% power for 2
mins. Remove and add bhindi and other
dry masalas. Mix well and add the remaining 2tbsp oil. Set the combination mode of microwave and
grill for 10 mins or till bhindi is
cooked. I kept it at 70% power for
8mins. I stopped the timer in
between to check on bhindis and they were done.
Remove and serve it
hot with rotis.
(temperature and oven settings would vary from oven to oven)
Notes:
You can add potato too here but time has to increase for
potato to be cooked too.
Adjust masala as per
your taste.
Trial and error with timings
works best.
Hope you all liked it
and over to you for your feed back.
loved this Meena..crisp and with bright green colour..I never tried cooking veggies in oven...just use for heating them:)
ReplyDeleteBhindhi masala has come out perfectly Meenu, the color has retained yet seems well cooked too!! I love using okras in preparations but as you say its better to use ovens rather than stove tops.
