Tips
Okra :
• Ladies’ Fingers or Okra should be tender for the Curry to be tasty.
• If you cut Okra into one-and-a-half-inch pieces, then the piece won’t shrink too much after cooking.
• If you put Bhindi in Oil and fry on high flame until they turn golden, then they will lose their stickiness.
• There has to be adequate Oil for this Curry to be tasty.
Some tips for perfect Okra Masala:
• The spices should fry nicely, and the Oil should rise to the surface. Only then you get a good colour and aroma.
• All the ingredients should be fried until Oil separates.
• Never add Water to the Curry. Everything should get cooked in Oil only. If it seems absolutely necessary, then add 1 tbsp of Water when you fry the spices.
• Add Tomato Paste in the spices and fry till the Oil rises to the surface. That will give a nice colour.
