½ tsp Aamchur / lemon juice

3 Green Chilies, slit

Salt to taste

Method:

Mix ladies finger with 1 tsp oil, ¼ tsp salt and microwave for 3 minutes.

In another bowl, take the remaining oil and microwave for 2 minutes. Mix in turmeric, chili and garam masala and onion and microwave for 3 minutes.

Add fried bhindi and cook in microwave for 4 – 5 minutes.

Sprinkle aamchur and add salt to taste. Mix in chilies and cook further until done (4-5 minutes). Keep aside for 5 minutes.

Garnish with coriander leaves and serve.

Note: I do not use onions, so I have avoided it. At step 2, I mixed it all in with the ladies fingers.
