Place the cut okra in a single layer on a microwave-safe plate and cook on
high uncovered for 4 minutes. If necessary cook the okra in two or three lots.
No salt is to be added now.
This will ensure that the okra is cooked, but without stickiness, and the bright
green colour is maintained.
Next, heat the 2 tsp oil in a kadai, and fry the mustard, urad dal and ajwain,
add the cooked bhendi/okra pieces, add turmeric, hing, salt, chilli powders
and fry for a couple of minutes till the masalas are well absorbed.
Your dry Bhendi Sabji is ready and looks green and appetising. It is a great
favourite with our family.
