Okra Stir fry


This masala okra stir fry is inspired by the masala stuffed okra with I have been seeing around made by my fellow blogger's. But I was not patient enough to silt and fill in the stuffing and some got slitted  all the way through :(.I ended with this recipe which tasted equally nice:)


Okra- 20-25
Onion- 1 medium
Green chilly slit- 2

Mustard seeds- 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves
oil
hing - a pinch

Masala
Roasted peanut powder-2tsp
Roasted Sesame seeds- 1 tsp
Chilly powder- 1/2tsp
Coriander powder- 1/2tsp
Garam Masala- 1/2 tsp
Salt a pinch




Cut okra into desired shape. Heat one tsp of oil and add in the ingredients listed under masala and lightly roast it in low flame till the raw flavor disappears and set aside. Heat another two tsp of oil and add mustard seeds. Allow to splutter and add in green chilly, curry leaves and hing. Add onions and fry till golden brown and finally add okra and stir fry for two minutes. You can close with a lid for a few seconds and then continue to stir fry. When the okra is cooked add in the masala powder and stir fry for a few more seconds till it well coated and dried up. Enjoy with rice and rasam.

Try This...
Hope you will all enjoy..

  37. I made a small change while cooking this, I just cooked the okra on a non stick pan until the sides of the okra was slightly brown and the stickiness of the Okra gets dried up. Did not have sesame seeds, but the flavour of the peanuts were good enough. My husband finished up the whole stir fry in one shot.

Many of these snacks, can be quickly whipped up with rice flour, coconut, and jaggery. I am sharing a list of snack recommendations from Kerala that are easy to cook at home.

Do you have any favorite snack that is simple and easy to make? I would love to hear about your favorite traditional snacks. Please share your idea

Uzhunnu Vada/Urad Dal Vada

Uzhunnu Vada/Urad Dal Vada Uzhunnu vada or medu vada is a very common snack in south India and is a perfect accompaniment with a cup of hot piping tea.I like it as a snack but again cannot resist when it is served with idli,sambar and chutney as breakfast. One might wonder where does all the aroma come from? The  plain deep fried lentils is by itself flavorful because I make them often for  vada curry. But in uzhunnu vada the addition of pearl onions,ginger and curry leaves imparts a wonderful aroma that is irresistible.This is something I really missed when I came here to the US until I started making my home made version. Try this you will surely love it. Ingredients Urad Dal/Black lentil skinless- 1 cup Rice flour- 2 tsp Pearl Onions- 4-5 Ginger finely chopped- 1 inch thick Curry leaves finely chopped- 1 spring Green chilly  finely chopped- 3 Whole black pepper- 5-6 salt to taste Oil- 2 cup to fry Wash and soak urad dal and rice for about 4-5 hours. Drain

Samosa

Samosa When it comes to deep fried snacks my favorite is samosa. There can be very few who can resist this spicy stuffed pastry. When ever I think of samosas I think of those street food vendors in India who sell the most delicious samosas ever.The taste of those samosa and the crispness and perfection of the pastry dough is really hard to recreate.  I tried making it several times and most experiments where disasters. I should admit that I learned it the hard way.The stuffing I have used here is a spicy and tasty potato peas combo.You can be creative with the filling There are different fillings both vegetarian and non- vegetarian,sweet and savory. Cooking time- 45 minutes Recipe Type- snack Cuisine - Indian Ingredients For the dough All purpose flour/maida- 1 1/2 cup Ajwain seed- 3/4 tsp Ghee/oil- 2 1/2 tsp ( use ghee for better results) salt to taste For the filling Potatoes- 2 medium Green peas- 1/2 cup Ginger chopped- 1 tsp Green chilly finely chopped-3
