Bhindi or Okra Fry

Ingredients:
Bhindi/ Lady's Finger/ Okra - 1 lb - Wash the okra and let it dry. If you do not have ample time to dry it, wipe with a cloth or paper napkins. Chop/ cut in small round pieces of 3-4 mm
Onions - 1 medium - chop into small pieces
Green chillies - 2 or as per taste - chop into small pieces
salt
turmeric
oil

What to do with this?
Heat 5-6 spoons of oil in a pan, add cut okra stir it so oil applies to the okra. Add 1/2 spoon salt and 1/4th spoon turmeric powder. Stir well. Cover the pan and let it cook for 3-4 mins. Open the lid and stir again. Add chopped onion and green chillies and add 1/4th spoon more salt. Stir again and let it cook for 6-8 mins stirring it every 2-3 mins. When the onion looks done or transluscent switch off the stove. Serve hot with roti. This is the simplest of the bhindi/ okra recipes you can make.
