Stuffed ladies finger (Masala bhindi)

Hi everybody! This is my recipe for "spicy ladies finger"....hahaha I know it sounds kind of sexy :-P

Here's what I did:

First: Dry roast the following masalas (spices).... 

White til (white sesame seeds)-1 tbsp

 Peanuts

Some fenugreek seeds,

Coriander seeds,

Cumin seeds,

Cardamom- 5-6

An inch of cinnamon bark,

Cloves

Little asafoetida (a pinch)

Dry mango powder- 1 tsp

Dry red chillies (4-5)

Saunf (fennel seeds)- 1tsp

Black pepper

To the spices now add turmeric powder, salt & sugar 

Now grind all the spices that we just roasted in a grinder....Mix it with 2 tsp of  white oil and keep it aside The stuffing for the ladies finger (bhindi)  is ready now.

  

Now slit the bhindi ( ladies finger) like it's shown in the picture (from the centre vertically)  and  fill it with the stuffing of spices you have just prepared...

Then Take a pan & put some oil and start frying the stuffed ladies fingers in batches...

Cook it in slow flame so that it does not get burned and gets fried properly from all sides ( I fried them in shallow oil)

I cooked this batch of bhindi in the microwave to give you a demo that if you are too health conscious u can cook it in the microwave also. Brush the utensil (plate) with a little oil and micro it for 10 mins in High.

I would definitely say that the fried ones tasted better.
