Okra /Bhindhi/Lady's Finger Sabzi Recipe

Lady's Finger Fry for Roti

Are you bored with the regular chole masala or PB masala for roti?,then you can try this for a change. I hate okras in any masala. So I regularly make sambar or poriyal (semi/dry fry) with them.Today I made a dry sabzi with okra and it was a hit.Its so simple with regular ingredients but the technique is in the time and way of cooking.Everyone at home enjoyed it, you will too.Give this a try.
