Bhindi Aloo stuffed with Green Masala



Ingredients
250 gms Lady finger / Bhindi / Okra
2 medium sized potatoes
1 bunch coriander leaves
1 small onion
2 green chillies
1 inch piece ginger
8 flakes fresh or dried garlic
1 medium sized tomato
3 tbsp oil
¼ tsp turmeric (optional)
Salt to taste

Procedure
Grind coriander leaves, onion, green chilli, ginger garlic and a little salt into a smooth paste. Cut off the head and tip of each lady finger and slit in the middle vertically. Peel each potato and slit into thick round slices (four to six). Stuff each Bhindi through the slit with a little green Masala. Also, make pairs of potato slices and fill green Masala in-between. Heat oil in a thick-bottomed kadai and put in the potato slice pairs and sauté for a couple of minutes on low flame. Now add the stuffed bhindis and turn around gently. Add turmeric, salt to taste and tomato halved and cut into vertical slices. Cover and cook on very low flame till potatoes and bhindis are cooked. Serve hot with hot roti, dahi and papad. This preparation of bhindis also goes well with dal & rice or dahi kadhi and rice.
