Bhindi (okra) corn veggie


Hi! A lazy sunday afternoon with almost no stock of veggies at home, I thought of making 2 vegetables in small quantities. The first one was fairly routine- Potatoes and tindola. The second -Bhindi and Corn turned out to be nice. As always, I cud "smell" the final product even before I started making it. I have never tried this combination before.



You the Bhindi Corn Veg you will need:

Bhindi-nicely washed and dried, cut into medium long peices.
Fresh corn- 3-4 tables spoons or use frozen corn,like I did.
Curry leaves-3-4 nos.
Garlic-2-3 peices
mustard seeds
Asofoetida powder

Turmeric, Coariander power, Cumin-Coriander powder, Salt,Cilli Powder.

Method:-
Run the curry leaves, garlic and fresh/frozen corn in a mixer to get a coarse powder.
Add a little salt and keep it aside.

In a wok, add a teaspoon of oil. When hot, add the mustard seeds. When they splutter, add the asofoetida and the bhindi. Stir. Add the turmeric , coriander powder and a little cumin-coriander powder.Stir.Cover and cook on a low flame till half done.Add salt and cover again. When the bhindis are almost cooked and "done", add the coarse corn mix.Stir in well. Cover and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Garnish with very fine chopped coriander and a few drops of lemon juice if you like.

Serve with warm rotis.
