Methods:

  • Wash the bhindi and wipe it dry with a clean kitchen towel. This is an important step as the bhindi will become sticky, if you omit this step.

  • Cut off the tip and the crown of the bhindi. Make a long slit and keep it aside.

  • In a mixing bowl, add soaked quinoa, chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, amchur powder and salt needed. Mix well.

  • Stuff the bhindi with this masala.

  • Heat oil in a pan/kadai and add jeera seeds. When it splutters, add onions and fry for 2 minutes or until onions turn golden brown.

  • Then add tomatoes and cook until tomatoes become mushy. Add salt as required.

  • Add the remaining stuffing mixture to the gravy if it is in excess.

  • Then add all the stuffed bhindi/okra and cook uncovered for 5-10 minutes on low flame stirring now and then.

  • Then cook covered until tender.

  • To serve, add the gravy at the base and make a tower of the bhindi on top of it.
