Bhindi raita

undefined

Serves 4 to 6

400gm okra
350gm low fat natural yogurt
Half tsp turmeric powder
Half tsp chilli powder
1 tsp whole cumin
1 tbsp oil
Salt to taste (black salt if you have it)

Method
Prepare the okra as above in my introduction. Preheat the grill to a medium setting. When it’s hot, grill the cumin on a baking tray for a few seconds, then crush into a fine powder and keep for later.

In a shallow rectangular dish, stir the yogurt with salt as per your taste and leave to chill in the fridge. If using black salt, don’t add salt here. Next mix the okra pieces with the chilli, turmeric and oil in a bowl. Place on a lined baking sheet in a single layer and grill for 8-10 minutes until sizzling and crispy.

When they are done, mix into the yogurt. Sprinkle the fresh cumin powder on top and half a teaspoon of black salt (if you are using it). Serve chilled as soon as possible.
