Veg lunch and i was looking for something different to make with the ladies finger. Hubby and I were bored of the same old thorans and mezhupurattis. This is my version of the bharwan bhindi.
Ingredients :
Ladies finger – 1/4 kg
Besan (Gram flour) – 1 tablespoon
Red chilli powder – 1 tablespoon
Coriander powder – 1 tbspoon
Garam masala powder – 1 tbspoon
Cumin powder – 1/2 tbspoon
Asafoetida – 1/2 teaspoon
Salt – 1/2 tbspoon
Lime juice – 1 tablespoon
Procedure :
- Mix all the ingredients to form a firm paste. The besan plays the role of binding all the masala powders together. Use a littlle water for the same. Keep the paste aside.
- Wash, dry and cut off the edges of the ladies finger. Make a slit in the middle on each of them.
- Now fill the paste into the ladies finger.
- Heat oil in a pan and shallow fry the ladies finger. I like them crisp. Adjust the cooking time based on how you much you want the ladies finger to be cooked.

It looks lovely! But did you deep fry this?
No Aparna. Shallow fried for a long time in a pan. Added this info to the post 🙂
looking great. I have tried making this before but didn’t turn out well. This has come out perfectly.
