Ingredients:
Lady's finger - 0.5kg, serves 4
Garam masala - 1 Tb sp.
Ginger garlic paste - 1 Tb sp.
Turmeric - 1 tea spoon
Salt - 1 Tb spoon
Oil - Approx. 50 ml
Optional ingredients: My mum suggested Til and grated coconut. Add anything else that you feel like adding :)
Time:
Takes about 30 mins (assuming you have already chopped the bhendi)
Procedure:
Chop the bhendi into small pieces. Pour the oil in a kadai. Add a little salt (apparently, it prevents the bhendi from sticking to the kadai).
After the oil becomes a little hot, add the bhendi. Wait 5 minutes - mix well. Repeat this at 5 minute intervals until about 80% of the gooeey stuff vanishes. Then add salt, turmeric, ginger garlic paste, garam masala (and everything else that you want to add). Mix well. Turn off the stove after another 5 minutes. Bhendi fry is ready :)
It came out pretty well, dad said super (yay!)
That's all for now.
Suggestions, anyone?

Update
Do not close the kadai with a lid throughout. Keep it open :)
