  Masala Bhendi
  
  Ingredients
  
  1/2 kg Bhendi/ Okra
  2 medium Onions sliced
  1 Tomato sliced
  1 tsp Ginger-Garlic paste
  Grind together: 4 Peppercorns, 2 Cloves, 1" Cinnamon
  1/2 tsp Dhania-Jeera powder
  1/2 tsp Jeera
  2 tsp. Chilli powder
  Salt to taste
  Chopped corriander
  
  Method:
  
  
  Snip the tail and head off the bhindis
  Deep fry these bhindi's in oil. But see to it that they don't lose the green color. Drain the fried bhindis on a paper and keep them aside.
  Take 2 tbsp. oil in a kadai.
  Add the cummin seeds (jeera) once the oil is hot. After that add the ginger-garlic paste and the onions.
  Fry the above till onions are cooked and then add the tomatoes and the dry masala along with dhania jeera powder and chilli powder. Keep frying till the tomatoes are cooked.
  Add the fried bhindis and salt to taste.
  Top this dish with some chopped corriander.

  Recipie for Tomato - Curd Raita.
  
  Plum tomatoes / chopped tomatoes / boil the tomatoes and peel of the skin..
  
  In a pan add oil and musturd seeds, let them splutter..add whole red chillies, and the tomatoes..let them cook well..close the gas and let them cool for a while...then add curd and salt...
  
  Goes well with pulao..

  RECIPIE FOR MASOOR DAAL...
  
  you can use lentil as a substitute for masoor dal..
  
  2 cups masoor dal Water
  1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala
  1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric
  1 teaspoon salt
  1/3 cup oil
  1 1/2 onions, chopped
  1 head garlic, separated, chopped
  1 (1-inch piece) ginger root, chopped
  2 jalapeno chiles, chopped
  2 tomatoes, chopped
  1 bunch cilantro, chopped
  
  Rinse dal thoroughly, until water is clear. In pot bring 1 quart water to boil. Add dal. Cook half way, about 10 to 15 minutes, add 1/2 teaspoon garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric and salt. As dal cooks, uncovered, water will evaporate and mixture will thicken. Add more water to keep dal loose, like texture of thick cream. When dal is soft, turn off heat. Heat oil in wok. When oil is very hot, add onions and cook until tender and translucent but not browned. Add garlic, ginger and chiles. Continue to fry until onions are deep-yellow. Add remaining 1 teaspoon each garam masala and turmeric. Do not allow spices to burn. Keep stirring until mixture starts to stick. Add tomatoes and cilantro. Cook until tomato softens. Pour in pot of dal and simmer to blend flavors. Taste and add more salt if needed. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
  
  enjoy
