Microwave Bhindi Fry/Ladies' Finger/Okra/Bamia/Gumbo-In 5 easy steps with Less Oil-

Hello Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ladies' Finger is one common vegetable we use in South India. Generally in Tamilians house, they make normal Vendaka kari but i just tried one in microwave which is actually very easy and time consuming.When i was working, i have to rush to office,pack off lunch for me and my husband.So i tried this method and now this is our favourite when we cook ladies' finger and this is my husband's favourite also.

This is very ideal for bachelors and working women.

Now let's see how to do this.

I use IFB microwave so you can try this in all owens too(Even in normal owen).

Ingredients:

1.)Ladies' Finger               - As required(Get small ones which will give you good taste)

2.)Salt                               - As required

3.)Sambhar Masala          - As required

4.) Olive Oil                     - Half normal size teaspoon

Serving                        :      Two people

Cooking Time             :      15 Mins

Method:

1.)Clean the ladies' finger well in running water.

2.)Now just chop both the ends of the ladies' finger and cut them into half small pieces as shown.

3.)Now just add half a teaspoon of olive oil and required salt to this and mix well.

4.)I used stuffed veg option in my owen.You can give the suitable one in yours. 

  

5.)Depending upon the crunchiness you want, you can continue cooking it.So in my owen ,first i had
    6 mins with oil and salt alone and now i am going to add the required masala.
 
    Here is used normal Sambhar masala powder(home made).Just one and a half spoon.If you want
    you can add chilli powder also or any masala generally you use for making ladies' finger in gas.

6.)Now it is almost ready and now finally after another 5 mins of cooking, the bhindi fry is ready as
    below.

Now the bhindi fry is ready and you can add grated coconut to this for a superb taste.Because
coconut with ladies' finger gives awesome taste.Try it!!!!!!!!Since i was in a hurry that day, i
could not use coconut.Just sprinkle the fresh grated coconut on this.

Note:

1.)Do not add the coconut and cook as it will become hard.

2.)Some people will add this fry in curd and have.You can try that also.

Bon Appetit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
