Masala Bhindi ( Spicy Okra )

Okay and ladyfinger is very common in Pakistan. It's available year round.

Almost 9 out of ten women make Okra in lunch or dinner when they don't have any other option to cook. Seriously I cook okra 2 times a week coz my parents in law loves the masla Bhindi I make and second it's less time consuming. It usually cooks in half an hour but man you need another hour to cut them into pieces. One of the healthiest option in veges. I learned this recipe from my mom. So if you ever try or cook it , say a little prayer for her.

Cut the okra/ Bhindi in small pieces and saute them in a pan with less oil and high heat. It reduces the sliminess of okra/bhindi. Its one of the best way to reduce okra's slime.
