Stuffed Bhindi with spicy coconut powder, Stuffed bendakaya with kobbari karam

Stuffed Bhindi with spicy coconut powder is easy to prepare in very less time. It is dry curry, goes well  as side dish for rasam rice, sambar rice, curd rice. Spicy coconut powder with garlic gives good taste to the fry. I usually change the stuffing depending on the ingredients at home. Stuffings which I use for bhindi are ground nut powder, bean powder and spicy masala onion paste. Will post the variations in my upcoming posts. Today I used kobbaari karam in telugu(spicy coconut powder) for stuffing.

Other Variation

You can fry the ladies Finger before stuffing. And then fill the stuffing and fry it again. You can also fry like this. I like to fry it directly after stuffing, 

Note

◆ You can use hing instead of garlic cloves. But garlic gives good taste the coconut powder. 

◆ Frying dry coconut powder is optional. As few people(me too) do not like raw garlic smell while eating so I prefer frying dry coconut powder. 

◆ As it is dry fry recipe I did not added onions. 

◆ Adjust spicy as per your taste. 

Tips

● To get ladies Finger crispy, prepare stuffing keep it ready and fry it before serving.  As it would not take much time to cook.

Method

1) Take a pan add oil and heat in medium flame.

2) Add red chilli, turmeric, Amchur powder, rice flour to the okra pieces and mix it.

3) Take half part of the okra to fry.

4) Add salt and gram flour/besan and salt and very little water to the okra, just to bind all powders to okra, befor frying .

5) Check the oil by dropping one okra piece in it. If it floats then oil is ready to fry okra.

6) Add okra pieces in oil slowly by keeping in medium high flame.

7) Fry the okra well, donot reduce the flame. You can feel the crispness of okra while frying.

 8) It will take approximately 5 min to fry.

9) Take okra in plate, now add ground nuts in oil and fry it until it changes color. * As oil is heat it would not take much time to fry. Switch off the flames and add curry leaves fry it for a second. Add ground nuts and curry leaves to the fried okra.

Note

Tips

◆ To get crispy bhindi fry it in high flame.

◆ Add salt just before frying the okra, because it makes okra soft.

◆ Donot fry all the okra at a time., make it portions and fry. Because the boiling point of okra will comes down. Check step-2.

◆ Take care while adding curry leaves in oil. I usually run away after adding curry leaves 😉.

◆ Some portion of flour will settle down in the pan, when the flour not dind well with okra. Just filter the oil after cooling, and use it.
