Today I am here to share a very easy but tasty... now this time its treat to our taste buds...Kurkuri Bhindi.This is my mom's recipe and we all love it.I don't like soggy Ladyfinger.I always prefer to have crispy curry of Bhindi.They can be made in many ways.But the best way to make it with grounded roasted peanuts.Peanuts will give a crunchy flavor to Curry.So , lets start with today's recipe :-

Ingredients :-

1/2 kg of chopped Lady Finger

3/4 cup of grounded roasted peanuts

1+1/4 tsp coriander powder

1 tsp red chilly powder

1/4 tsp of turmeric powder

1/4 tsp Garam Masala

1/4 tsp asafoetida

1 tsp mustard seeds

1 tsp cumin seeds

2-3 tbsp oil

salt to taste

chopped coriander leaves for garnish

Procedure :-

Take a pan add oil in it.Once oil hot add asafoetida.Also add mustard and cumin seeds.Once Splutter add the ladyfinger.Give a good stir.Let it cooked on medium low flame for 5-10mins.In between give 4-5 times a gd stir.Pan should be wide enough that most of the chopped ladyfinger should touch the bottom of the pan.In this way you will get crispy bhindi.If you feel oil is less you can add 1-2 tsp more at this time.Slowly the ladyfingers will turned crispy and brown.Once you see its nicely cook add all other masalas. Don't cover the pan anytime.Try to cook it without covering.It will take some more time to cook without cover but you will happy with the result.Now after adding the masalas cook for another 2-3 mins so that all the spices cooked nicely , then garnish with chopped coriander leaves and switch off the flame.Serve hot with Chapati(Bread) or as side dish with rice.

Note:-

1) In order to get nice crispy crunchy curry , the ladyfingers should be dry.I mean after washing your vegetable , dry it properly.

2) You can also add roasted sesame seeds.

3)For crunchy vegetable always you should add more oil then normal curry.
