Bindi Masala.

I wanted to make something in a quick-time and called up mom [the best chef who doesn't charge a penny for her recipe] and she gave me this recipe.

The bindi masala a.k.a Lady's finger Masala [for the english babus].

Ingredients:
1. Chopped Onion - 1.
2. Sliced Tomato - 1
3. sunflower oil - 3 tablespoons.
4. Chopped Bindi [Lady's finger - the vegetable!] - 10 medium sized.
5. Ginger Garlic Paste - 1/2 tablespoon.
6. Chilli Powder - 2-3 tablespoons.



NOTE: The quantities mentioned here is based on the number of people to be served = 2.

In a pan, pour sunflower oil. Add chopped onions and fry till its golden brown. To this, add sliced tomatoes and key frying the content till a paste is formed. To this, add the ginger-garlic, in the quantity specified above. Do not add more. Add the chopped bindi or lady's finger and sprinkle the chilli powder over it. The quantity as desired. The amount of chilli powder depends on the amount of the bindis that have been added. Keep mixing the content. Add around 2 tablespoons of water each time, till the bindis are baked properly. The entire baking has to be completed during the cooking itself. So, keep adding water [in quantities mentioned] and do not allow the contents to stick to the pan.

So, that's it. Bindi masala is done. Simple. eh?
