Aloo Bhindi Recipe Flavored With Mustard And Poppy Seeds

Step 1: To begin making the Aloo Bhindi Recipe first prep all the vegetables and keep aside

Step 2: Make a powder of the mustard and poppy seeds and keep aside

Step 3: We will roast the aloo and bhindi separately and then finally mix it all together

Step 4: Heat a teaspoon of oil in a Heavy Bottomed Pan, add the potatoes, sprinkle some salt and stir fry on medium heat until the potatoes are half way cooked

Step 5: Keep the pan covered in the cooking process so the steam helps it cook faster

Step 6: Once the potatoes/ aloo are half way cooked, stir in the turmeric powder and chili powder and saute for a few minutes

Step 7: Cook the potatoes until completely done

Step 8: Once done, transfer to a bowl and keep aside

Step 9: In the same pan, heat another teaspoon of oil

Step 10: Add the bhini, sprinkle salt and cook until soft and tender

Step 11: Cover and keep the lid of the pan slightly ajar

Step 12: Keeping the lid slightly ajar helps the steam circulate in the pan, plus prevents the bhindi from getting sticky

Step 13: Once the bhindi is cooked, add the poppy and mustard seed powder, the roasted potatoes and any more salt to taste

Step 14: Stir fry the Aloo Bhindi sabzi for another 4 to 5 minutes until all the flavors are incorporated

Step 15: Once done, turn off the heat and keep aside

Step 16: Serve the Aloo Bhindi Recipe along with Cholar Dal Recipe (Bengali Style Chana Dal) and Bengali Luchi Recipe for a cozy sunday lunch
