3 tbsp almond or peanut powder

( I use almonds )

2 tbsp Coriander powder

1 tsp Tumeric powder

Salt

1/4 tsp Hing 

Soak one cube of tamarind in 1/2 cup warm water for 15 minutes or use 2 tsp lemon juice instead.

1 tsp mustard seeds

1 tsp cumin seeds

1/2 tsp Hing

32 pieces of okra

8 green chilies

Okra: slit bhindi (Okra) and green chili in the middle length wise.

Stuff the stuffing in each okra and green chilli and set aside. There will be about 2 tsp of stuffing left. Save it to add it later incase you need some extra gravy.

Heat oil in a large pan, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds and Hing. Once the seasonings starts spluttering add all the stuffed okra and stir well. Sprinkle 5-6 tbsp water ( I used drained tamarind water, you can substitute with 2 tsp lemon juice and 5 tbsp water) cover pan and cook on low flame for about 6 to 8 minutes. Add stuffed green chilies and remaining stuffing masala if you like. sprinkle 2 tbsp water if needed. cook another one minutes. Serve with Roti.
