Instructions
Wash the okra or bhindi well.
Wipe them dry with kitchen towel or paper towel very well.
And let them dry till we make stuffing.
Take coconut, cilantro, salt and sugar in a grinder and make paste out of it. If needed, add 1 tablespoon of water no more than this.
Add goda masala, onion and lemon juice to it.
Mix well and keep it aside.
Now cut off both the ends (head and tail part).
Make a slit in the center and stuff all the okra with stuffing mixture. You will have little leftover, we will use that later.
Now heat the oil in a pan on medium heat.
Add turmeric powder and red chili powder. Make sure that oil is not too hot, oil should be just warm so chili does not get burnt and smoky.
Immediately add stuffed bhindi and toss very gently.
Add remaining stuffing mixture. Mix well. If needed sprinkle some salt. r
Cover the pan and let it cook. Do toss okra in between for even cooking.
As okra cooks, they shrink and become darker in color.
Once they are cooked and tender, turn off the stove.
